The client's vision was to blend modern living with the building's historical essence while maximizing space and functionality. MCL Architecture took on the challenge, focusing on a design that reimagines urban living with innovative spatial solutions.

The rooftop extension is designed with aesthetic appeal and sustainable features in mind, incorporating energy-efficient materials and finishes. A key highlight of the project is the communal roof garden, which offers residents a shared outdoor space to relax and connect with nature. This garden serves as a green oasis in the urban landscape, fostering a sense of community among the residents while promoting well-being in adense city environment.
