Ecological Brick House in Cenkhegy Street

The house was built around the exist­ing plant life, so it ended up with a north and a south-fa­cing ter­race, each used in a different sea­son. The buil­ding pre­sents a clos­ed front­age to the street, ope­ning up in the di­rec­ti­on of the gar­den. A heat pump and heat-re­co­very ven­ti­la­ti­on sys­tem, thick cel­lu­lose ther­mal in­su­la­ti­on and a pas­sive-house struc­tu­re have been in­cor­pora­ted into the buil­ding. The raw conc­re­te struc­tu­res, rec­la­i­med brick, an­th­ra­ci­te-co­lo­u­red metal plat­ing aimed to exp­ress tim­eless qu­a­lity rat­her than an at­tempt to ft in with fashi­on­ab­le ar­chi­tec­tu­ral trends. Its con­struc­ti­on was a slow pro­cess of crafts­mans­hip.
