The restoration of this 15th-century residence in a historic area of Cairo—one of the few remaining examples of Mamluk architecture—focused on preserving its historical, social and architectural significance while allowing for sustainable reuse. The project involved conserving historic materials such as stone floors and wooden elements like doors, ceilings and windows, as well as replicating original plaster finishes to restore deteriorated areas.

The building’s architectural significance lies in its features: a wooden entrance, open central courtyard for passive ventilation, elaborately carved wooden ceilings, latticed wood screens, gypsum windows with colored glass and traditional spaces that illustrate social hierarchies and environmental design.
