Mokosh Restaurant Villa Toncic by Studio 502

Studio 502 transformed Villa Tončić, a protected, 1920s Secessionist villa in Split, into a contemporary dining destination. Navigating strict preservation rules, the studio retained original features like wood paneling and ceiling details while introducing bold, heritage- informed interventions.

Highlights include commissioned contemporary artwork, reinterpretations of historical motifs, and the use of rattan and custom joinery to merge form with function. Distinctive salon spaces explore different approaches to adaptive reuse, and the outdoor dining area extends the interior concept through restored vintage furniture and a carefully considered layout. The project offers a sensitive yet forward-thinking model for reimagining historic architecture.
