Duna Passage

The Duna Passage has one of the best locations along the river Danube among the strategically determining southern development areas in Budapest, Hungary. While reaching the city centre, on the eastern bank of the river Danube from the south the buildings of Duna Passage are going to be the first landmarks to be seen. Duna Passage is a brown-field development replacing a small concrete mixing plant and other industrial factories of the site. Since the site is not embedded in the urban tissue of the city, there is no significant built environment to relate, the architectural language of the new development has to be defined separately.

By reconstructing and extending the old structure with a new staircase and a floor under the roof the building is now functioning as the headquarters of a small and dynamic IT business.

Duna Spirit

The Duna Spirit answers challenges that are left unresolved in the everyday life of the inhabitants of Budapest, capital of Hungary and surrounding suburban towns. Ideal living and working environment is created by intelligent, innovative offices, fresh, healthy air, green spaces, residential buildings set in the nature of the bank of the Danube and by well-developed coordinated urban infrastructure. The concept of the Duna Spirit project is conceived by blending contemporary urban planning with cultural aspects and business principles.

Paris Department Store

The Paris Department Store is the first building in Hungary built exclusively for warehouse function. It uses a sophisticated reinforced concrete-skeleton structure qualifying it as a national monument. The department store was built in 1909-11 in the style of industrial art-nouveau on the site of a former neo-renaissance Casino building. The architect integrated the prestigious ballroom of the Casino into the new department store thus creating an exciting blend of historical styles. In the 60s the building has undergone a major refurbishment. It operated as a famous department store typical of the socialist era until 1991 when it was vacated.

Nursery School Jászberény

This project is a winning competition entry on designing a new Nursery School in Jászberény, Hungary organized by the Municipality of Jászberény in 2005. The new central Nursery School is intended to replace four smaller existing nurseries. The unusually shaped site – the site is actually an enclosure embedded in a traditional residential area, basically the backyards of the houses which the Municipality bought up year after year – and the Local Building Codes inspired a very compact volume which can be functionally extremely efficient and gives the opportunity to keep the garden as big as possible.
