One of the tasks of the development company is the reconstruction of the building and the creation of deluxe living premises. The best architectural solutions for this project will be selected in a competitive tender organized by PetroStyle. The general architectural idea is to modernize the building with complete preservation of the historic look of the building’s façade and upper section. The façade of the building will be preserved and restored to its original classic Petersburg palace style, a complex and laborious process. The internal wooden beams and engineering and infrastructure systems will be replaced by new, state-of-the-art equipment. The total floor area of the house will be increased to between 3,500 and 4,500 square meters, due to the addition of an extra storey and parking space. The spacious internal yard, of an area of 595 square meters, will be turned into a cosy private space.
