HEATING PLANT CONVERSION
2008/2009 feasibility study, converting a flat neighbourhood heating plant into an integrated social centre. Went through the evaluation and clarifications process and a financing agreement has been reached between the local administration and the Ministry of Regional Development and Tourism. Building starts in 2011. + due to E.U. funding and control procedures, it’s built according to plans – however, we were allowed 10 days for the execution project and related paperwork
PIAŢA PACII / PEACE SQUARE
All squares on the perimeter of the original walled city are dominated by car traffic in Cluj. PIAŢA PĂCII / PEACE SQUARE has turned during the 20th century into a node for several routes related to the thick university life within the city. Further more, The Central University Library and the Student’s Cultural Centre both flank the square. Therefore, car routes should criss-cross underground, and free space should be provided above to be taken over. Vienna hilft Klausenburg out with second hand MQ urban furniture and the first Transylvania Anime Festival makes it’s weird ways among the students, always chillin’ […]
BAKOS
Small traditional house extension for a landscape designer, a good experience, that lasts “for ever” + ornament today issues arise: it’s worth preserving traditional wooden ornaments if not for else, then for the preservation of carpenter techniques and skills – we are not sure about new ornament, but are interested in aspects of “pop” in architecture: and „rustic” is one way for popular today
RECONSTRUCTION OF CITADEL GATE
Reconstruction of the Vauban fortress trench filled up partially at the beginning of the 20th century in the main square of Alba Iulia.

HOVERHOOD EUROPAN 10
The theme of the Hungarian site was the revitalization of the post-socialist city centre of Ajka.We proposed a lightweight upper layer over the existing public structures: a private housing neighbourhood landscape – made up of a set of dispersed housing units with garden and considerable semi-public / semi-private space. + first EUROPAN for the original blipsz! team – lumpish preparations, fast finish, sarcasm
GRUN’S TRANS
On a former prefab concrete panel production site („house factory”), built during the socialist area, the plots and halls were subdivided after 1990 halt, and property structure fragmented. Our client has bought one half of a hall structure and arranged it step by step, but quite chaotically, as rentable office and production spaces. Our task was to extend and optimise these spaces achieving a unitary look. + planning re-use for an industrial building – very slow design process, not yet built because change of plans / budget
