Pavilion
2014.
Our very first assignment was to design a pavilion especially for selling lavender at Pannonhalma, since big part of the community’s income is based on its peoduce. I choose a traditional Hungarian form called ‘góré’ to specify the appearance of the building. Its a very simple wooden structure with its character defined as a tall an reasonably thin installation due to the covering lats’ proportion. Visitors can walk through the space since when open the doors create a corridor. On the inside of the two longer walls I placed suspended shelves to hold the products.

Housing
2015. In the third university semester our task was to design a home for a family of four – 2 children and parents - at Zebegény. As part of the assignment we were also asked to complete the house with an additional small bio shop, supervised by the family. My project consists of two equal buildings, the spaces of the one closer to the main road was designed to complete the needs of daytime activities, such as: kitchen, living room, storage space, a big terrace opening to the garden and also the bio shop. The other half of the family home has two floors, the ground floor consists of 3 main spaces, the parents’ bedroom, a bigger bathroom and a summer kitchen.Since I wanted the two teenage kids to have their own space, I put their rooms, an additional bathroom and a smaller, shared space ont he upper floor.

Visuals As moving on with my studies our next university assignment in the fourth semester was to design an apartment building in the downtown of Budapest.In my opinion today’s social view on living together in an urban atmosphere is heading in a wrong direction. We try to avoid any situations in which we are forced to spend time together as neighbours and this leads to a very alienated social structure. My purpose with this design task was to create a building in which shared spaces get as much accentuated as private ones. I inserted joint terraces on each floor, so the inhabitants can
practise living together on a different level, given the chance that we as human beings can live up to the task of urban togetherness and find ways to tolerate others and eventually get closer. On the ground floor I placed a coffeshop and at the back of the building there is a garden which is also accessable for the inhabitants and visitors as well.The first floor of the building consists of four smaller Airbnb apartments, the next five floors two apartments each. On the top floor – as part of the original assignment – I designed a penthouse apartment which has an additional roof garden above with an excellent panorama.

Music therapy centre

The place for this assignment was at the beautiful small town called Leรกnyfalu, right next to the Danube. Inspired by the atmosphere of the site I decided to design something that can satisfy visual expectations and social needs as well. The therapy centre I planned would accept children with disadvantageous backgrounds and help them to improve their social skills by teaching them how to make their own sounds and music, and this way helping them to build a better future perspective despite of their underprivileged situation. On the location there was an existing late 19th century villa which I decided to keep and turn into a plant house with wood and polycarbonate roofing. This would additionally function as a small venue for concerts from spring until autumn, as the plants ensure the good acoustic conditions. I imagined the existing garden redesigned based on its original appearance, therefore leaving the trees intact.

Sketch of the building site
Site plan This concept of a workspace is located in the downtown of Budapest, in one of Buda’s historical districts, known for its brick architecture, most commonly for its brick fire walls. Therefore the enviromental research was the main aspect of my design process, as a result the form lead the space’s functionality. I tried to construct a composition of sphere which fits best the rhythm created by the surrounding buildings changing heights. In the end the accomplished function caused a multifunctionally usable space in which practical and theoretical arts find room for collaboration, so curators and artists can create conceptions and exhibitions in place by working together. I planned two exhibition rooms to take place for this purpose, one in the subground floor and one on the top floor. Besides those, the spaces left in the building are designed for office work, but I did not put any unnecessary walls into these areas so that it can stay as fluid and flexible as possible.

Chair
2015.
In this assignment our task was to find an old chair- in my case two, one original Thonet and an additional one - and reconceptualise it. I combined the pieces I took out of the existing two with plywood and steel, creating a very experimental chair-form your can see above. This task was one of the most educational one, since I got the chance to work with different materials on the spot.

Table
2016.
In the third university semester we were asked to design a dining table within the given sizes of 75cm x 75cm x 75 cm. For this furniture I used plywood and rounded wood pieces, which create original, disassembled joints at the corners.These wooden joints are kept together by screws ending in winged nuts to hold fixation and make the disassembly quicker and easier.

In 2016 our facutly of architecture participated as a group at the Hello Wood summercamp in Csopak. The building’s main material is Leier’s durisol bricks together with wood.The structure was inspired by the buildings in China, designed for the drying of the grapes. The final installation was mainly planned during the process, wherby the roof construction was completely conceptualized and build in place. The projects placement is above the lake Balaton’s wine cellars in a mountains face, from which the contemplations visitors are able to sight the water and this panaroma - as this place’s quality is what we wanted to highlight in our project - due to the durisol’s attributes within a construction, the walls seem to pixelate the view, wherby a new panorama is created. The visitor is also able to choose to experience another view by sitting in front of the buildings bench.
Parliament

As part of the international hello wood summercamp 2016 we participated as a group in the so called parliament project. For easier assembly the construction and also the worklfow was pregenerated by the teamleaders. The structure itself consists of decreasing frame builds in an open cirlce shape, these elements were build on custom made construction tables, which were also designed for rounding up the concepts whole layout, to build an open space for discourse and speech.

120 hours
2017. Team members: Rebeka Horváth Diána Santana Cadena Áron Szabó
The 2017s 120 hours competition’s task was to find a concept for a canteen and library building for the LiangMeng school complex. The facility is placed in a valley in the rural area of Puan City, China. The library and canteen inhabit a space of 100 square meters, in an underdevelopt part of China, so it’s functions are pragmatic, accomondating 200 primary school children and constructions costs of 1000 Yuan per sqm, therefore about a total cost of 14.500 USD. Our goal was to find a complex which can be build with less material and material costs, within the given resources of the location and economy. As for the substructure of the building we planned to recycle the smashed concrete of the now existing building. The roof structure would be cunstructed entirely of wood, covering it with corrugated asbestos-cement sheets. We also wanted to save as much space as possible so we combined the canteen with the library in a way that children can read books and study at the tables when lunchtime is over, so that space an its furnitures would be in a constant use.
