The historic building was constructed in 1911-1912 by the Hungarian Agrarian and Pension Bank, designed by Géza Kiss and Albert Kőrössy in an eclectic style.
In 2019, we completed a digital replica of the building, incorporating both architectural and engineering surveys. Throughout the project, we documented the current condition of the complete facility, from facade decorations to interior architecture and the entire MEP system. As a result of this process, a comprehensive three-dimensional model was created.
A Český Brod főterének megújítására készült tervünk egy cseh tervpályázat részeként született, célja a város történelmi központjának újjáélesztése. Koncepciónkkal olyan köztér hálózatot kívántunk létrehozni, amely csökkenti az autós forgalmat, és helyet biztosít a városlakók mindennapi tevékenységeihez, valamint ünnepi eseményeihez. A terv az élhetőbb városi életet, a zöldfelületek növelését és a közösségi funkciók erősítését helyezi előtérbe, tiszteletben tartva a történelmi örökséget.
The design competition aimed to reinforce and recompose the baroque city center of Mazzarino in Sicily, including its main street, and the adjacent squares.
A program a főutca elegáns térhálózatát gyalogosbarát kialakítással, a gépjármű-közlekedés szabályozásával, a zöldfelületek és a közterületek innovatív megoldásaival újítja meg.
Az építészet és közlekedésfejlesztés mellett gazdasági és társadalmi fenntarthatósági javaslatokat is tettünk az üres ingatlanok hasznosítására, a helyi fiatalok megtartására, a turizmus fejlesztésére és egy mezőgazdasági fejlesztő és képzőközpontra.
We have prepared a complex urban development and rehabilitation programme for the town of Enying, which included the preparation of all plans from the strategy through to the preparation of the financing application and support for the implementation process.
A városközpont és környéke zöld infrastruktúra hálózatával a történeti városszerkezet helyreállítását céloztuk meg. A kiegészítő elemekkel együtt ez a helyi identitás, gazdaság és idegenforgalom fejlesztéséhez is hozzájárult. A megvalósítás során a teljes városközpont megújult: a zöld-kék infrastruktúra visszaállításán túl a városközpontban új, fenntartható kortárs közterek jöttek létre.
The development of the new headquarters for the National Institute of Pharmacy and Nutrition represents one of the largest projects that our office has designed and executed. Besides architectural design, we also managed the complete design coordination and provided design supervision on-site during construction.
Throughout the project, we ensured that client specifications were aligned with the constraints of the existing building. The planned new offices and laboratories were incorporated into the renovated structure of the former hospital, which was expanded and modernized with contemporary elements to meet the project's requirements.
Before the start we surveyed the facility utilizing point cloud technology to produce a precise, lifelike three-dimensional model of the existing structure. A new point cloud was created after the completion, to assist the documentation of the as-built condition.
The goal of the South Buda Central Hospital project is to create the most modern hospital facility in Hungary, capable of providing all forms of care.
The general designer approached us to support the building's design with BIM-based solutions, recognizing that alongside the client's BIM requirements, designing a building of this scale comes with additional software challenges. Initially, we had to establish and operate the Archicad and teamwork environment, and later, as the design progressed, we reviewed and integrated the engineering trades’ BIM models, conducting regular quality checks and clash detection to eliminate errors and support coordination.
As part of the Veszprém-Balaton 2023 European Capital of Culture program, we conducted extensive research on the cultural landscape of the Balaton Uplands, focusing on land-use traditions, transformation processes, and development opportunities. This program, covering dozens of municipalities, formulated conclusions and recommendations on intelligent land use and urban development, from local phenomena to regional scales.
The result is a series of books on the functioning of the region, its vision, the possible ways of life and the future that can emerge from current processes, and a year-long series of events that put the theme into practice on the ground.
The project was carried out in collaboration with KÉK - Centre for Contemporary Architecture.
