Occupying the entire north side of Szilágyi Dezső tér, a Unesco World Heritage Site, the landmark-protected neo-renaissance Neuschloss Palace (designed by Kornél Neuschloss in 1898) was the subject of a roof conversion tender announced by the owners. Bidders were invited to submit works aimed solely at the utilization of natural light within what was to become the loft level. We thought it was rather commendable of the tendering party to only focus on this one crucial aspect, rather than expecting comprehensive drafts, functional layouts, as well as structural, mechanical, and interior design concepts. That is not to say these elements are to be overlooked, tough, if one is to devise a proper solution to the question at hand. As the tendering party did not provide a functional program, either, we came up with our own that could be summarized as follows: the designing of four full-service luxury loft units, each offering generous floorspace and sweeping views of the cityscape and the Danube River. Although no winning bid was selected, multiple submissions were purchased – including ours.
