Attila 99 Loft

The house on Attila Street was built in 1938, based on the plans of Dénes Györgyi, an architectural teacher. As few buildings in Budapest have preserved his work, it was important to preserve the original character and style of the building. One of the special features of the house is that it has three entrances and three staircases, resulting in a complex internal layout and staggered levels. In its renovation, the builders have preserved these distinctive elements and given the interior staircase spaces a defining character. The building is not a listed building, but it is located in a listed area, so its facade and external parameters could not be altered without the permission of the Historic Monuments Conservation Authority.

The renovation was in fact a redevelopment, as the former transformer house had to be reborn as 16 luxury apartments. All expectations were fully met. For example, the apartments had to have their own direct lift connection. The building block therefore has a lobby on the ground floor, a wellness and fitness area, a restaurant with street access, a bakery-café and a car park, which was the most technically challenging part of the project. The 23-car car park is operated by a fully automated parking machine.

The balconies of the exterior facade overlooking Attila Street were eliminated due to the unique internal dimensions of the building, creating a uniform and modern look covered with white stone tiles. The house is in fact a huge “U”, with a garden inside that is accessible to the residents. This is in the interests of the owners, both in terms of visual impact and sustainability. Residents have views from the internal terraces onto glass roofs and the garden, providing a true oasis on the edge of the Castle District.

The interiors of the apartments are loft-style, with large open-plan spaces and large expanses of glass that deliberately expand the rooms. Light, airy, airy – with a touch of French and natural-feeling – the gallery apartments are designed with all the glass individually designed. Moving shower enclosures, full mirror and glass walls, glass stair rails and glass wall units with smart foil up and down stairs was a real logistical feat.

The end result is a real Buda gem in a prominent location, with special technological applications and cutting-edge innovative solutions for the comfort of its residents.
