  • RECEPTION HUT 3

    The third refuge is in Puntea Lupului / Farkaspalló,  a remote and small village in the Ghimeș / Gyímes region. This time, the detailed planning and the on-site assistance was carried out by 4ZET Architecture studio (Várday Zsolt and Várday Kinga). This version of the prototype is on a flat terrain, without the hill addition and with slightly different finishing materials. As we know, unfortunately, the execution went on in quite a hurry and without the sufficient care from the construction team.

The site is at a former rural bath (Madicsa), a couple of kms distance from the village, it still has a mineral water spring, used mainly by locals, and it serves as a place for regional events, thematic camps, […]
  • RECEPTION HUT

    Rural tourism development funds application feasibility study collaboration for the Szekler region.

One has already been built, in Csíkszenttamás / TomeŞti, Harghita county, co-funded by the local administration, County Council, and the Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism. + wooden type-building experience, gets built more or less according to plans – lack of time at pilot project; supervision and maintenance administration unsolved for these remote locations
  • 4 BUNGALOWS

    Near the Hajdó house, the same client needed to extend the capacity of its pension. The 4 small houses are dug into the slope and protected by a massive retainig wall as not to obstruct the nice panorama from the house above. The shapes and materials were chosen in accordance with the newly built environment. + demanding client, good collaboration with Erika Barth and Arnold Macalik
