Family house conversion, Budapest, II. district
Completed
2019

Built in 1992 according to the design of Attila Lebedi, this fully detached family home is situated in a sloped piece of land with excellent features, right on the edge of the Nagykovácsi forest, where the city limit crosses the street. I was commissioned to redesign the facades and the roof primarily because the house, which was otherwise in perfect structural condition, had gone outdated in terms of overall aesthetics. My designs entailed a complete re-insulation of the roof and outer walls, and a somewhat apparent alteration in the contours of the roof, which was re-tiled with dark terracotta tiles. Doors and windows were also replaced with dark-framed structures, with an assortment of standing seam roofing sheets and other cladding elements also installed. On the foundation and other facade sections, however, the projected dark-toned fiber-cement panel siding was eventually left uninstalled. The project was completed, albeit not without significant conflicts. The end result, while deviating a bit from our original designs, is still worthy of praise nonetheless.
