令人惊讶的是，现代简约的建筑风格让我们想起并与过去的苦行僧风格相对应，尽管两者之间存在着巨大的时间差异。中心思想是将新旧结合起来，同时保持每一种风格的质量，并创造新的空间，将这些风格融合在一起，甚至加强它们，因为不同时期之间的对比和张力。历史是通过维护建筑外壳的结构和材料，尊重建筑工程的一致性来表达的。

Surprisingly, modern, minimalistic construction styles remind us of and correspond with the ascetic style of the past, and this despite the vast time difference between them. The central idea was to combine the old and the new whilst maintaining the qualities of each and to create new spaces that blend the styles together even intensify them because of the contrast and tension between the different periods. The historical is expressed by preserving the textures and materials of the buildings outer shell and by respecting the building engineering accord.

现代的表现是空间的开放和改变内部流动到一个更开放和自由的环境，以及在不同的隔间、开口和家具中使用不锈钢、铁和韩国。该项目成功地既尊重和维护历史和几乎浪漫的结构价值，同时创造一个当代的项目，现代和适合其时期。尽管存在时间差异，但在一个令人惊讶的平衡和谐的空间中，各时期之间的紧张和二分法仍然存在。

The modern is expressed by the opening of spaces and by altering the internal flow to one more open and free environment along with the use of stainless steel, iron and Korean in the various partitions, in the openings and in the furniture. The project succeeds in both honoring and preserving the historical and almost romantic values of the structure whilst creating a contemporary project, modern and suited to its period. Despite the time differences, the tensions and the dichotomy between the periods exist in a surprisingly balanced and harmonic space.
