The dilapidated office building was refurbished, and an addition was built in the courtyard converting the building into a luxury tenement with posh retail areas on the ground floor (Gucci, Carollinum). All the original, valuable crafted elements were restored and completed, and the interiors were furnished to meet the highest standards. A tubular glass lift was installed into the stairwell. A bust of singer Otakar Mařák, a famous singer, was installed above the entry door.
