In january we took part in a professional discussion at the Krea Design School Budapest.
The topic was the postmodern parking house on Baross Street.
Original designer: György Venéczi, in 1995
We redesigned its facade in 2019.
Thank you for the invitation KREA Design Iskola
Our aims were:
_make the building better reflect its function as a parking house
_use higher-quality materials than were available in the 1990s
_integrate into the downtown urban fabric (lines of the cornices, proportions, scales)
_eliminate the postmodern office-building glass cube, which only makes sense in plan.
We had 2 design options.
