Vikár & Lukács Architects Studio won the commission for this project on a competition for
a new iconic headquarter of the Hungarian Autoklub. The main gesture of the
building is a ribbon that wraps around the office spaces on seven floors, while
articulating a letter 'a'. As the site is located near the Danube bridge, local
politicians appreciated to have a building that works as a point of orientation
for drivers that arrive to district Ujpest.
The main hall and service functions are found on the ground floor, while on the
very top, under the arc is a rooftop terrace for representative meetings. The
looping strip is about 1,0
meter thick, it has a changing width and deforms as it
articulates the loop. The two component of the building comes back also in the
material usage, the strip without openings with metal cladding, and the glass
curtainwall of the wrapped building volume. Using geothermal energy system in
the building helped us to free the rooftop from technical devices.
