The architectural formation process of the building groups of Harbiye Military Museum began with the construction of the Mekteb-i Harbiye-i Şahane building, which was officially opened on 23-29 July 1847 and is now known as the Military Museum and Cultural Center. In 1887-1888, the refectory building (Ahmet Muhtar Pasha) was built in neoclassical style, and the buildings continued their expansion together with the construction of Ahmet Fethi Pasha building, also known as a gymnasium in the early 1900s.

The Project includes the Documentation-Problem Analysis, Material Analysis, Historical Research – Restitution, Intervention Decisions- Restoration, Landscape Design, Exhibition Design and Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering projects of these three structures.
