The main activity of the studio is architectural design, including feasibility studies, conceptual and planning drawings as well as construction plans and product designs.
We provide the full scale of architectural services ranging from residential, commercial to public projects, however we specialize in working with listed buildings and historic monuments. We have the expertise in specialty construction projects as well, including industrial and agricultural buildings.
The basis of most architectural projects is a reliable and accurate survey. Creating comprehensive architectural surveys of structures and buildings is also part of our portfolio. We use state-of-the-art technologies, such as a laser scanner, drone, photogrammetric and geodetic tools.
We use the latest technology for laser scanning of internal spaces and converting them to point cloud models regardless of scale.
With our drone and photogrammetric methods, we undertake the production of still images, 3D point clouds as well as videos.
Our studio is committed to helping our clients in planning their projects effectively, taking into account the cost and optimal solutions. Therefore we use BIM (Building Information Modeling) in our projects. Complying with international norms, with our 3D CAD platform and BIM manual, we have the expertise to undertake the production of LOD 100-500 detailed BIM models.
When it comes to tendering and construction stages in a project’s programme, we have a team which produces the required information in this phase. We work with the best suited construction materials including the latest technologies. Our building technologists hold expertise in the field of working with listed buildings and monuments. We are at your disposal to design unique construction plans, details, specifications, consignations and fabrication plans. We also undertake the production of constriction plans for projects with planning permission.
Our priority is to provide a sustainable building solutions matching all aspects of the client’s needs.
Our studio is committed to protecting the built environment and cultural heritage, therefore it is our priority that our projects involving listed buildings are performed at a high standard. We undertake the full survey of monuments, historic buildings and we prepare the historical research documentations in relation to these.
Over the last few years, a number of projects with contemporary reconstruction of listed buildings in a variety of architectural styles have gone through or studio. We believe that the design process is best when carried out with humility. Designing with a particular style requires a deep knowledge of architectural styles and the art of forms and the proportions of the given era.
We consider architectural values to be public affairs, thus our priority is to complete renovation, rehabilitation and reconstruction projects at the highest standard possible.
We believe that visualization has a key role in communication and marketing in today’s world. One of the main expertise of our studio is architectural visualization, in which field an in-house team of visual artists contribute to our portfolio.
We make visuals from the basics, the conceptual phase of the design process, in which phase it is an excellent tool for customer presentations. We prepare both interior and exterior visualizations in artistic, model-like and photorealistic forms as well, from pre-built 3D models or even 2D designs.
We are also experts in animations which enables virtual tours of future buildings.
We are committed to the application of innovation and modern technologies in what we do and became market leaders in Hungary with our unique VR presentation tools. With the use of a headset, our clients can see their ideas come to life and experience the their project in the virtual space, before even having to build it.
We apply this technology in 4 concepts:
1) The essence of Static VR is to create a 360-degree panoramic images of the defined viewpoints and a headset allows the user to gain insight into the virtual space.
2) For an Active VR, the full virtual space is modeled so that the user, with the use a headset and controllers, can move in the virtual space and explore the planned building.
3) With Interactive VR, which in this application is our own development, the customer has the opportunity to customize the interior of the pre-built virtual space, look at design options, and change elements such as colors, materials furniture, as well as lighting.
4) Our active and interactive VR services are also available in multiplayer mode, this way the experience can be shared with others. However, this option is only possible with our own development, a VR Box, which upon request, can be hired out to the customer. For our investors, our VR-Box can be temporarily installed at the sales office / marketing suite where with the help of an employee, the future buyers can view and customize their home.
5) The VR animation allows the user is not only to look at a traditional moving picture, but has the potential to look around in the animation in the virtual space.

With our interior designers we also undertake the design of unique interiors to the finest detail. The careful selection of the best suited products is key in our work, however we design bespoke furniture if no product on the market can satisfy the specific needs. Our room data sheets in historical buildings generally include the list of antique furniture for the design to be complete.
The design and improvement of our surrounding natural environment is an indispensable part of the architectural activity. The built environment can only achieve its true nature when exciting and characteristic vegetation is designed along the process of planning buildings. Our studio does comprehensive landscape design, including the design of parks, squares, various footpaths, landscaped green roofs and the selection of specific plants.
In addition, we also undertake the specific design of green walls, installations and park furniture.
We are committed to providing fine details, designing bespoke solutions, considering the aspects of a particular environment, materials and surfaces. With these in mind we design our furniture that will suit bespoke needs and assist with the production of both outdoor as well as indoor furniture.
With our 3D printer, we undertake the production of specific building models and individual objects. This way, it is possible even at concept phase to print a prototype to experiment, should it be a building, a furniture or other object. If need be, we also prepare the 3D model of the object to be printed.
