The
Concept
Relation
The final building outline was determined
by the scale and proportion of the sorrounding buildings. We didn’t want to
form blocks that oppress their environment. Our primary aim was to find an acceptable, proportioned building form,
that keeps the relative regulations, and we connected the most optimal number of apartments to this form. The sorrounding
buildings and environment inspired the volume of the building. The existing
firewalls on the location determined the volume from two sides: on one hand
they are identifying characteristics of the site, on the other hand they
’section’ certain forms and buildings, therefore finishing these were one of
the tasks. Instead of building something
aside, we added the form to the site.
Local
value
We reacted to the form and volume of the
sorrounding buildings observantly and sensitively. This way of designing gave
us the possibility to add the new
building volume in a wider sense. We integrated the block that sorrounds
the location in two levels. On the one part, the new building covers the fire
walls, on the other hand, the moulded block evokes them. The new volume
finishes the sorrounding blocks, at the same time it marks the difference by
the change of material.
Rise
of value
Our firm will was to generate the
development of the certain site, the sorrounding blocks and it’s wider
environment. The integrated building form generates an inner garden, that visually connects the street to the inner space
of the new block. Besides giving the green experience to the space, this
solution lets natural sunlight in, it gives natural light to the inner street and apartments. We connected public spaces to this inner garden,
that adds a certain value, and completes the simple function of the apartments.
Using the advantage of the location, we could create two roof terraces, that
give extraordinary panoramic view to the city, and Gellert-hill. The vegetation
and it’s designed elements create a continuous, L-shaped garden and public
space, that at the same time separates and connects the two block of the new
building.
Organization
of inner spaces
A clear and uncomplicated longitudinal zone connects all the
functions (apartments, parking, public spaces). This zone and the developed
structural system allows the fexibility
that appears in the organization of the functions, particularly in the layout
of the apartments.
Sustainability
and efficiency
Besides using contemporary building methods, we focused on the sustainability of
the building by using durable and persistent
materials. The building suggests elegance and balance by it’s proportion, scale and inner
spaces, while it is functionally organized, frugal. The cost estimation and the
consturction plan was continuously conrtolled during the design procedure.
