The "New Holland" building complex is located in the middle of the historic city centre of St. Petersburg and is a real landmark. The six buildings are located on an artificial triangular island of approximately 7.4 hectares.

At the beginning of the 18th century there were wooden warehouses for shipbuilding timber on the island, which were later replaced by stone buildings. This resulted in an ensemble in lime and clay brick construction with reddish facing brickwork on the facades.

In the course of a comprehensive new development, a multifunctional cultural and business complex was created on the site, which is integrated into the economic life of St. Petersburg.

Short description: The buildings of "New Holland" have been restored several times over the years and have been repeatedly supplemented with new buildings and extensions. All buildings were damaged inside as well as on the facade and roof. The brick facades in particular, which were heavily soaked through, posed a major problem. In addition, damage to the masonry and the cladding of the plinths was detected. During the restoration of the brick masonry, the varying condition as well as the heterogeneous nature proved to be a particular challenge. There was also high salt content, which could be damaging to the building and therefore had to be reduced. Finally, the aim was to achieve the most harmonious possible colour matching of the stone surfaces.
