Modern revitalization of the national cultural monument - Modern constructions were inserted into the historical building, and the multi-functional operation was restored.

Modern history is being written from 2023, when the overall revitalization was completed. The object was completely inspected and repaired. Due to the demand for new operations, new structures were introduced into the building. The technology center of the facility was created as a new building in the underground between the spa facility and the Rašelinov pavilion. From there, the distribution lines spread to the historic building through new underground corridors made of reinforced concrete. Most of the underground structures were built below the water table. Due to the problem of a high groundwater level, the entire building had to be rehabilitated against moisture. Due to heritage protection, it was not possible to apply traditional "undercutting" in the walls, chemical injections with mineral gels were implemented. All wiring and technology were replaced in the building. The challenge was to solve the new distributions in such a way that they did not apply visually. New HVAC units with wiring, cooling of some rooms, electronic fire systems, security systems and others were installed. All end elements were coordinated for a long time with the historic preservation authorities directly on the construction site. The goal was that the building could be operated according to current standards for the 21st century and at the same time the historical nature of the building was not fundamentally affected.
During the construction, a plan was issued to build a concert hall into the atrium without "touching" the historic building. This was done figuratively and the hall is set back from all the original structures. The hall draws resources and some technology from the building.
Thanks to the intention of the Karlovy Vary region and the efforts of all participating designers, builders and management personnel, a valuable original building was once again created, which has no parallels in Central Europe and perhaps beyond.
