The villa Agnes stands set back from the street on hill Säli, in Lucerne's Säliquartier. The facades show a cross-joined plinth over two floors and two plastered upper floors, followed by a flat full hipped roof. The south facade is surmounted by a tower under a flat pyramidal roof. Projecting volumes, wide risalites, segmental arched and trapezoidal ellipses enrich the existing façade pattern. The window forms vary between round-arched windows with and without jambs, as well as rectangular windows, some of which have triangular roofing. The surrounding, profiled window sill cornice of the second floor and the consistently used corner pilasters unite the heterogeneously designed facades into a single unit.

The property is listed in the Inventory of Swiss Architecture (INSA) and in the Inventory of Swiss Sites Worthy of Protection (ISOS) under the name "Villa Agnes".

Villa Agnes, with its high-quality design elements, is based on the neo-Renaissance buildings by Emil Vogt on Reckenbühlstrasse and combines them stylistically with the similar buildings on Sälihügel. The building is part of the ensemble of historicized multi-storey villas that significantly characterize the northern Sälihügel. The villa quarter was built between the 1890s and the early 1920s and is characterized by architecturally excellent individual buildings with generous gardens.

After a careful and precise analysis of the situation, the objectives for the conversion and renovation were defined. The architectural quality, the identity of the house and the whole ensemble will be preserved. The concept is to preserve the original stylistic elements of the 1910s, as well as to restore the generous spatial typology inside and make it perceptible. At the same time, the structure and building fabric of the property, which is worthy of protection, will be moderately adapted to today's living requirements.

The existing garage boxes from the 1950s will be demolished. A new underground parking garage will be built, which will provide direct access to the individual floors. The elevator, which connects the parking garage with the existing villa, will be placed in the existing staircase. The streetscape will now be minimized to a single garage entrance and its materialization will be oriented to the existing retaining walls of the Sälihügel. The surroundings and the gardens will be reconstructed and upgraded in cooperation with the cantonal preservation of historical monuments.

The new apartments respect the historic layouts. The intervention in the structure is minimal. New kitchens and bathrooms are installed for the needs of contemporary living. The materialization corresponds to the furnishings of the historic villa. Floors of wood parquet in herringbone pattern, stucco ceilings and wood paneling in the living rooms.

The energy refurbishment of the building also includes new windows and a new heating system. A new floor structure with underfloor heating and increased requirements for acoustics are targeted in the process.
