The Sultana Malak Palace Restoration and Adaptive Reuse project involved the comprehensive rehabilitation of one of Egypt’s most important historic palaces in Heliopolis. This royal residence, built during the reign of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, required extensive restoration work to address structural deterioration and restore its original grandeur. MCG implemented specialized conservation techniques to preserve the palace’s unique architectural elements.

During the renovation, original wall and ceiling colors that had been obscured during the building’s use as a school were rediscovered. The palace was subsequently rehabilitated and repurposed as a Digital Creativity Center under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. The restoration and adaptive reuse work began in 2020 with comprehensive studies and was completed in 2022 with a total investment of approximately 300 million Egyptian pounds, transforming this historic landmark into a hub for fostering creativity and innovation while preserving its distinctive architectural style, historical identity, and cultural significance.
