The local government commissioned the architects to design two pavilions in the renewed park on Kálvária Square. A covered service- and play-area, an extension to the new playground, was built at the southern section of the green area dissected by Baross Street, and an information pavilion was erected in the northern section. The scale, the materials and the structural solutions of the info-point make it into a pavilion, while it also functions as street furniture thanks to the warm tones of the wooden cladding, the playfully opened surfaces and the elaborate details. It is characterised by forms resembling cut crystal and abrupt planar changes. Although it has a small area, its elongated shape lends it a tower-like appearance.
