Strip

On the corner plot, two buildings, each with 42 apartments and a cafe, were designed, which were placed as mirror images of each other on the plot. Between the two buildings, open-air and closed car parking spaces have been created on the ground floor. The remaining areas of the plot were landscaped, thus we kept the good ratio of paved and green surfaces.

On the ground floor, on the opposite side of the garages, there are apartments with private garden connections. The intermediate 3 floors have the same floor plan, but the second floor is mirrored, so the facade of the building becomes more playful. There are 2 penthouses on the top floor of both buildings, which offer a great view of the Balaton and provide an excellent place for evening parties. The apartments can be accessed from the glass-roofed, atrium-like interior circulation space, thus increasing the standard of the building.

The main characteristic of the building is the facade design. The balcony slabs were designed offset from each other, thus giving the building a pleasant rhythm. This forms the basis of the facade structure, then we separated them with wooden lamellas, both vertically and horizontally, for the purpose of shading and creating private spaces. The lamellas run alternately along the facade, connecting the balconies. The combination of wooden lamellas and white-painted balconies gives the building an exciting look. Some lamellas have built-in LED panels, so we integrated the evening lighting of the balconies into the structure. This system also extends over the shorter sides of the building, thus making the building even more unified. A custom-designed wooden fence matching the slats encloses the plot.
