2020 óta foglalkozok a Csepeli gyártelep központi útja mellett lévő, romos, de gyönyörű ipari épülettel. Az 1.600 m2 alapterületű, három hajós, shed-tetős, tégla homlokzatos, eredetileg földszintes ipari csarnok a Weiss Manfréd Művek első építési ütemében, az 1910-es években épült. A csarnok két traktusa biztosan eredeti, a harmadik annyira roncsolódott, hogy azt már nem tekintjük annak. Az eredeti épület homlokzatai a kor építési gyakorlata szerint, látszó tégla architektúrával, jellegzetes, egyszerű tégladíszítéssel épültek. Olyan sokszor építették át a homlokzatot, hogy eredeti nyílás és eredeti nyílászáró nincs is a házon. A shed-tető faszerkezete nagyon rossz, néhol életveszélyes állapotban volt. Az elmúlt évek során több koncepciótervet, bontási tervet, tartószerkezet megerősítési tervet és a tetőszerkezet és a fedés kiviteli tervét készítettük el. Jelen állás szerint először lesz új tetőszerkezete és fedése az épületnek és csak ezután határozzák meg az új funkciót, ami nem lehetetlen vállalkozás, de szokatlan. Az eredeti, kötőgerendás tetőszerkezetű csarnokban kb. 5,60 méter volt a csarnok szerkezeti (hasznos) belmagassága, a tervezési program szerint jelenleg az elvárt szerkezeti belmagasság 6,50 méter.

District XI of Budapest is one of the busiest areas in terms of real estate development in the capital. The medium-term development plan of the Danube embankment in South Buda provides for the creation of a recreation lane for pedestrian and bicycle traffic directly in front of the former Roller Mill (Hengermalom), with the lane widening in the area of the Lágymányos Bay and the Kopaszi Dam as it continues towards the city centre. To the north of the former mill, on the bank of the Lágymányos Bay, the "BudaPart" project has recently been completed. As part of the project, office and residential buildings were developed on a floor area of several hundred thousand square metres, including the tallest building in Budapest, the MOL Tower. Built upon a pillar frame made of reinforced concrete in the first part of the 20th century, the Mill was intended as an industrial building that consists of a ground floor, 7 storeys and a flat roof. Our task was to examine the possibilities provided by the spaces and structures of the building for the development of office or residential functions, while largely preserving the building's support structures. The project is proposed in the context of the generous development of the waterfront and the Danube embankment, which has already been completed in the northern part and is soon to be implemented further down south. We are planning to retain the existing building mass, while also adding a mass with a different character and use of materials on the upper floors. For both functions, we recommend breaking the monotony of the facades through the elegant application of the positive and negative space combinations of terraces and balconies, as well as internal terraces, respectively. We recommend the creation of spaces for community functions on the ground floor, where the ceilings have been raised. In the innermost area of the building, the basement too should be given over to such functions. On this project, I am collaborating with the LUNAKO (Dávid Lukács, Borbála Nagy & Pamela Könsgen) architectural team.

The three-unit building complex was commissioned by a company trading in technological machinery and chemicals for manual car washes, while also providing nationwide installation and service for such enterprises. The complex includes a 2-station car wash that is accessible from the public road, a three-storey office building behind the car wash, designed for 30 employees and also serving as a showroom, and a storage hall with a floor area of approximately 800 m2 further inside the plot. As a significant part of the low-lying plot is covered by the building and the access roads, the management of rainwater was challenging. Green space development was an important part of the project, because the block of plots located in the urban area of Érd, next to the old main road 7, included construction zones for both economic and residential use. In possession of the building permit obtained in October 2022, we hope to start developing the property as soon as the current dire economic situation eases again.
