The building is located in the historical center of Budapest, in close proximity to the Parliament, on Alkotmány utca. It serves
as a facility for the Budapest Business School (BGE), which focuses on business studies and social sciences. The building is a
protected cultural monument and is currently in active use by students and faculty. Although partial renovations have been
carried out, the university leadership aims to further enhance the building’s functionality, increase its efficiency, and re-establish a connection with the public — a connection that diminished significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The architectural concept focuses on opening up the building and creating a natural link with the surrounding public spaces
near the Parliament. It introduces a dynamic system of platforms at various height levels, designed to maximize the use of the
building's volume. These platforms also serve as key connective elements between different zones, facilitating interaction
between the university environment and the general public.

The design includes transitional spaces in the form of winter gardens — buffer zones that mediate the passage from exterior
to interior. Depending on the season or need, these spaces can be opened or closed, contributing to a pleasant and adaptable
microclimate.
One of the most significant interventions is the replacement of the original small basement windows with full-height openings. This transformation brings natural light into previously dark basement areas while preserving the historic rhythm and
proportions of the protected facade.

The material strategy distinguishes between original and newly added elements. All new architectural additions are made
from red steel, clearly setting them apart from the historical structure. Exposed brick walls, vaulted ceilings, and timber
beams emphasize the authenticity and character of the interior. A key feature of the project is the integration of greenery into
the spaces, aiming to reduce overheating and increase user comfort.
