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.

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.
