Family House

Next to the protected forest of the Buda Hills, oriented toward the valley panorama, we designed this family house with basement and ground-floor levels and a net floor area of 246 m². The building's concept was shaped jointly by a sensitive response to the site's natural conditions, the client's demanding outlook and environmental awareness. In this spirit, the building's structure uses sustainable, high-precision prefabricated systems: ready-made concrete panels at the basement level, and a CLT structure on the upper level. The floor plan layout is defined by the hierarchy of the different functions. The volume divides characteristically into wings, making the building's pattern of use clearly legible from the outside. The left wing houses the garage and the communal functions, while the residential wing sits separately from it, oriented toward the panorama. The functional organisation also refines the building's scale and naturally organises the relationship between the interior spaces and the garden. The building's exterior appearance is defined by the restrained material palette and detailing of modern Scandinavian architecture. Together, timber, metal, stone and glass lend the building a natural yet contemporary character. The large glazed surfaces and curtain walls turning toward the valley make the panorama almost part of the interior spaces, while the house also builds a close relationship with the sight of the surrounding forest. Beyond the generous glazing, protecting privacy was an important consideration. This is ensured by facade louvres and perforated cladding, which act as shading and space-dividing elements at the same time, while forming a characteristic architectural layer on the facade. The garden connection is strengthened by a wind-sheltered grill terrace facing the back garden, which becomes the natural setting of everyday use and communal gatherings. The building thus creates a living space open to the panorama yet protected, while its materials and structural system closely connect it to the idea of environmentally conscious building.
