As times change, so do historical buildings if they are to adapt to today’s demands.

This solution was the perfect way to combine modern aesthetics with the building’s rich heritage. The subsequent booths that were formed allowed customers to enjoy confidential appointments and benefit from optimal acoustic comfort.
