Proposal
To renovate the interior, including minor reconfiguration of internal spaces. To replace the glass inner lobby door on the ground floor, a new partition wall is proposed on the lower ground floor and the non-original partition walls on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors are to be reconfigured. The renovation also seeks to upgrade the mechanical and electrical services and introduce lighting tracks, suspended from the ceilings. Portland stone tiles are proposed for the floor finishes.
