The neo-classical building is converted into a type of "monument" which forms part of the streets and squares...

when the door opens it converts itself into part of the public space of the City.

A new wing:
The majority of the offices intended for the civil servants are located in the new wing...

The correct dimensions of the space are a large perimeter which proportions daylight in all of the work spaces...

The building grows parallel to Ganzenmarkt St.,and its scale is that of the houses which are located on both sides of the street...

The conservation of the building with the facade of the 30s is a means of defining this street (Ganzenmarkt St.)and entering in the new square...

The restaurant- café creates an amicable connection between the City Hall and the City...

In the construction of the new wing we recycle material (brick, window ledges and lintel stones, etc...) from demolition in order to create a new building with quality materials ...

Between the new wing and the neo-classical part there appears a new square for public use...
