Alexander Wittek was charged with preparing a new project. he went to Cairo on two occasions to study buildings built in that style. All the halls are at a height of two floors. The layout of the building is an almost symmetrical equilateral triangle. made of the stylistic features of relief and painted decoration. A glazed covering and false ceiling complete the interior. The ceiling structures in the peripheral tracts are built as wooden structures with wooden floors. such as the big hall. The improvement of the quay along the Miljacka River was quite certain at that time. above which there is a loggia. and at the central entrance they are built with brick domes. Since he made the project in the pseudo-Moorsih style. which. Wittek fell ill and died in 1894. This area leads to the central. two smaller halls.
