Renovation facade, Budapest, Dobozi street 25
Completed
2020

Unremarkable in both character and quality, this is a festooned tenement house built in Art Deco style. A run-of-the-mill member of Budapest eclecticism, it still features excellent proportions, avant-corps and a sense of boldness. As such, a reconstruction and restoration of near-original conditions is highly recommended. This desolate building is a perfect example of what decades of physical and financial neglect can cause when paired with utter cultural barbarism. As if major historical events (such as Budapest’s siege of 1944 and the Revolution of 1956) had not been enough. The images presented here feature some of the key pages of the design documentation submitted as part of the so-called ‘townscape notification procedure’, providing a rough overview of the design process: 1: current state, 2: line drawing of current state, 3 and 4f: detailed facade analysis, 5: line drawing of designed state, 6: colour scheme, 7: detail drawings. The plan was prepared in 2018, the implementation is ongoing during the summer of 2020.
