The house was built around 1921 and belongs to the line of French academic eclecticism, similar to most examples of civil architecture in Bucharest at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
The project involved extensive rehabilitation and structural consolidation, while at the same time preserving the architectural image. With this in mind, several valuable elements were preserved both inside and outside, including the façade profiles, the original woodwork, the mosaic flooring, and the interior staircase railing.
The new proposal preserves the building envelope intact, while the internal layout is partially retained and adapted to new requirements. The ground and first floors accommodate offices, while the attic hosts two apartments—a studio and a three-room apartment. Service spaces, including storage, laundry, and the boiler room, are located in the basement.
Construction techniques and materials used were, as much as possible, traditional, in an effort to conserve as much as possible of the original character of the house.
