Inside, Spital's space strictly separates classic neo-Baroque elements and the new addition. The 261 sq m space has an extension of steel and glass that juxtapose historic Corinthian columns running along the walls. In order to preserve the grandeur of the 40 m long hall, the designers opted to forego vertically-oriented elements that would break up the longitudinal axis. Instead, two podiums divide the space into four differently-styled zones. In certain spaces, the podiums are surrounded with minimalist railings, while the larger of the two extends into the kitchen. The ‘kitchen cube’ is completely detached from the exterior walls of the building and is made of Aleppo pine plywood sheets in various formats. Diners can look directly into the kitchen through a window-like opening. The glass façade was developed in cooperation with monument protection authorities. Along the façade, Saarinen executive chairs are arranged in groups of six. The restaurant can seat 132 guests, while another 150 can dine on the terrace and 80 can sit at the bar. The monument was erected by architect Wilhelm Bogler in 1887. The redesign was completed by architect Wilhelm Würtz and Tanja Maul as interior designer, while owner Khaldoun Cheikh Dibes was responsible for the overall concept.
