At the building form 1935 historic details have been handled carefully. Replication technologies were used to preserve the original appearance of the façade, e.g. the brick structure of the ground floor.

The project solved the challenge of both restoring and expanding a listed building from 1929. Whilst adding 129 roof-top flats, improving the energy-efficiency and reducing barriers, the historical elements of the building blocks were preserved without destroying cultural heritage.
