Bishops
resting pavilion is situated in the most beautiful area of Veszprém. The
neoclassical two-storey pavilion was built by Bishop Joseph Kopácsy in 1820. The
new owner would like to operated the building as a cafe. Our
task was to renovate and expand the old pavilion, which was in degraded
condition. It
was important to link the semi-basement and ground floor space. Wewould like to preserve vaults. So the stairs was
planned behind the main building in a white cube, which is separated from the old
pavilion with glass stripe. Columned
loggia on the ground floor is still open and permeable. The
resting room have become consumer space with restored fireplace. Two
terracess connected to this space on the ground floor. From these places are
unmatched views of the castle of Veszprém.The
visitor can arrive to the semi-basement on stairs.In
the middle space there is consumer space now. Behind the columnes of facade
there is glass wall. On the right side of the semi-basement there is the counter
and other service areas, on the left side there is a smaller consumer space. The
semi-basement is connected on the other side to a big terrace. Around
the pavilion there is a big park with walking paths. Architects:
