The aim of the reconstruction in the historical centre of Prague was:

1. To repair a refined modernist building from the 1920s in the centre of Prague, to keep it alive and to keep it meaningful.

2. Bring architecture where it belongs - in a building invested with public money and in a building in a very valuable public space with a rich historical context.

3. Create a new image of the office as a civil and welcoming building not only for the employees of the office, but especially for the general and professional public who visit the building. At the all office floor level, almost everything possible was illuminated with daylight and visually connected. The original dark corridors are thus connected to the offices both visually and luminously by acoustic glass partitions. The corridors are complemented by tea bays. The illuminated coloured corridors and the newly designed glass central lift allow direct orientation not only when moving vertically through the building. The transparency of the building is meant to be deadly serious - an official does not hide in this building - an official provides a public service here. Individual order and disorder are and will always be connected to the whole.

4. On the level of the publicly accessible parterre, the original passage has been restored - see also https://www.stavbaweb.cz/praha-ma-novou-pasaz-27219/clanek.html?newsletterid=14522&utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2023-06-12 , which is now maximally illuminated and visually connected to the adjacent surrounding interior spaces. The lightweight steel structure is the essence of statics and a symbol of the modern era with which technical standardisation is unreservedly associated. The original main entrance to the building was from the passageway, but now it is located directly from the passageway, giving the building and the passageway the significance they are due.

5. The internal spaces at ground floor level fully interact with the surrounding area, are visually legible just by walking down the street and the extent of their use may in the future extend beyond the needs of the Authority towards an even wider range of cultural and social events. The spaces are variable in their intermingling and their character encourages a variety of forms of broad direct professional and personal communication, a proven factor in fostering creativity across disciplines.

The building solution uses modern systems and products to the extent that these systems are able to increase the value of the building as a permanent cultural heritage /acoustic glazed partitions to separate offices, glazed construction allowing light to pass through and allowing views from the elevator, large prefabricated and light ceilings, etc./. However, the solution also includes the careful restoration of some original materials and products worthy of respect /replica of the original windows - now with insulating glass, refurbishment of the terrace and artificial stone, etc./. In terms of the interior, a strict distinction is made between the public areas and the operational offices, where built-in white laminate furniture is used. The internal installations have been completely replaced, the building has been equipped with, among other things, new air conditioning and cooling fully controlled by MAR.
