The restoration work restructured the building's internal logic by creating new circulation routes through a volume of steel walkways inserted into the void between the blocks, as well as freeing up large workspaces without, however, losing sight of the primitive design that was always present in all the rooms. The restoration of the old elevators, the creation of an auditorium square linking the rooms and the steel plates making up the ceiling that receives all the new infrastructures are highlights within the complex.

The new square, measuring 400 square meters, has a covered area for cultural use, such as pocket shows, seminars and book launches. Visitors will access it through the neighboring building, which was expropriated and had its façade restored to serve as the entrance to the new square. On the first floor, Casa Godinho still operates, a grocery store older than the building itself, which has been considered an intangible heritage of the city since 2013.
