Uniqueness of construction
The reconstruction was the absolute winner in the competition Building of the Year of the Liberec Region 2022. The jury was particularly impressed by the sensitive approach to the restoration of the historic building, thanks to which its original elements were preserved and supplemented. The biggest challenge of the job was the replacement of the ceiling joists holding the stucco decoration. The builders had to figure out how to replace them without damaging the plaster. In the end they gently supported the entire ceiling and changed and activated the joists individually.
