The location is the inner part of Budakeszi. The
settlement is characterized by buildings with pitched roofs perpendicular
to the street; made often with a porch and with
an intimate garden beside and at the back of the building.The house is a transcription of a building with pitched roof
and porch. Houses of this kind connect to their environment through the
side garden, hence the front door and the porch are on the side of building and
the rooms are arranged alongside the porch.
The design of the building is based on this classical layout
but in this case the porch has been transformed. The front door is placed in
the extension which was added to the street front. The porch here is enclosed
in the mass of the building and it withdraws as a subtraction from that mass
and becomes a real open porch as we go towards the back.
It shelters from the street and unfolds in the direction of
the garden.
The vision of the porch was
used as a start-up and it was gradually transformed and partly disappeared
during the design process. It got transformed before it could become a burden
that defiles the building depriving it from its natural beauty.
