The architectural projects were drawn by Umart Architecture. The volumes of the building were designed as offices, staying true to the restitution data.

Office spaces will be created around the Yusuf Rıza Offices Technology Development Center to support the main project and for young entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized companies.

It is located on 442nd Street, also known as “Karanlık Sokak”, which is connected to Kestelli Street in Esnaf Şeyh Neighborhood, Konak district, Izmir province.

The project consists of a two-storey main building and the additions in the garden. The volumes of the building were designed as offices, staying true to the restitution data. The hipped roof and cihannüma of the building were destroyed by fire. The gable roof that was built later has survived to the present day. The roof and cihannüma will be rebuilt with restoration in accordance with the original. The ground floor doors and windows that were converted into display windows will be restored to their former state with restitution data, and the bay window will be renewed. The period extension in the garden has been designed as a meeting hall.
