DESCRIPTION
Composed of a single, minimalist, and elegant element, the façade can be closed or glazed as needed. Its partially irregular cladding gives the building a distinctly sculptural character, further emphasized by the mansard roof. The entrance hall opens onto the central courtyard, illustrating a typical Budapest architectural style and creating a welcoming and bright space.
