Text description provided by the architects. A couple bought a well-known penthouse with ocean view. The notorious housing building is almost 30 years old. It emerged while I was attending college; ravishing at the time, it remains a majesty. They asked me to renew it by introducing minor changes – "an upgrade basically!" I shivered! What a fear! Was it an invitation to desecration? How do you do the renovation of a masterpiece? How do you do the renovation of a masterpiece of an author at the peak of his activity? Will there be place for reinterpretation in a masterpiece? Even if they call them "minor changes"? I felt stuck into Crime and Punishment – Was I destined to yield to my hubris, only to repent of the heresy for the rest of my life?
