Abstract: This research investigates the refunctioning and interior interventions of the Eminönü Muhsinzade Han, a structure of significant historical and cultural importance within Istanbul's architectural context. The study aims to examine the inn's historical context, its transformation processes, and the interventions related to its interior design. Conducted as a qualitative case study, the research employs data collection methods including archival research, structural analysis, and interior assessments. The findings demonstrate that the historical attributes of the inn can be preserved while being integrated with modern functions. The interior interventions involve redefining historical functions and aligning them with contemporary design elements. The study's results contribute to the literature on refunctioning and architectural conservation, indicating that a successful balance has been achieved between preserving historical values and meeting modern functional requirements.
