The aim of the project was to preserve and restore the existing state of the villa after the reconstruction for Cornelius and Cecilia Hóže (aunt of Greta Tugendhat). Thus, we helped to prolong the life of an important monument of the city of Brno. The building has been subtly supplemented with contemporary contrasting additions and used as a "Cetrum of Dialogue" with exhibition spaces, a café, office and operational facilities. At the same time, the building serves as a "museum house", i.e. an exhibit of the building itself with a permanent exhibition about the author and owner of the villa, Josef Arnold, as well as exhibitions about the coexistence of three ethnic groups (Jewish, German and Czech) living in interwar Brno.

Due to the state of disrepair of the building, it was necessary to build a pile wall in the slope below the building to ensure the stability of its foundation. The original structures of the villa were repaired and supplemented with reinforced concrete beams with prestressed reinforcement instead of the no longer functional visible steel beams. In order to avoid unnecessary loss of the wooden interior elements, fire safety has been addressed by individual calculation and the building is protected by a fog extinguishing system.
