Comprehensive restoration schemes were planned and implemented including near total re-plastering of the interior walls with site-prepared traditional lime-mortar.

The rather English ‘wooden’ interior as seen in the wall panelling in the entrance lobby, spiral stairs, rich furniture, all of exquisite Burmese Teak, was covered with layers of unpleasant Enamel Paint, making the wood nearly unrecognizable. The same was carefully removed to expose the old wood that has transported the space in time. Most of the fittings like doors, windows were in a precarious shape, and the same was restored using traditional joinery techniques.

Profuse roof leakage, an omnipresent issue was rather acute here too. The main hall which at one point of time had a large pitched roof and had been replaced perhaps in mid thirties, was treated with bituminous felt treatment (repeating what existed). The sloping roof at the back was insulated against water by providing an end-to-end aluminium sheathing.
