Restoring the invaluable mural paintings located in most of the spaces of the project.


The interiors are conceived to enjoy the historical elements, clearly differentiating the contemporary interventions of the ancestral spaces, obtaining an interesting contrast between the new and the historical without losing the timeless and nostalgic touch.
Double and triple height environments were created to maximize the interior sensations and to pay a respectful homage to this architectural jewel that returns to life to host a new program that meets the habitability needs of the 21st century.
