In the 20th century the city management started to reconstruct the city centre of Veszprém twice but the reconstruction has never been finished.
Finally the reconstruction was finished a few years ago: we started to work on it in 2008 and it was finished in 2013.
Connected project was the reconstruction of a shopping center, which was built in the 70’s years with a 20 storey building, which is the highest building in Veszprém.
Our task was to reconstruct facades and expand the building. We planned new lift and expansion like capsules.
The building is covered with white eternit and it has glass fronts. It wasn’t an easy work because there are lot of owners because of the privatisation.
We would like to single handle the building, we tried to bring to the surface it’s values.
The reconstruction and expansion was realized during the Rehabilitation of the City Center of Veszprém, with european union aid. The work was finished in 2014.
The architect of the original building was István Márton (Residental Building Design Company) who died in 2014 and who helped our work during the planning period. Thirty years after the completion of his buildings in Veszprém, he still wore their destiny.
