From our principal architect

A few words about myself as the head of our design office.
I graduated in 1977 from the Faculty of Architecture at the Budapest University of Technology. My diploma project was awarded by both the Faculty and the Association of Hungarian Architects. Since 1980, I have been a member of the Association of Hungarian Architects.

A few words about myself as the head of our design office.
I graduated in 1977 from the Faculty of Architecture at the Budapest University of Technology. My diploma project was awarded by both the Faculty and the Association of Hungarian Architects. Since 1980, I have been a member of the Association of Hungarian Architects.

In 1981, as a young architect, I was invited by Varhely Arkitektkontor AB in Sweden to work as a visiting designer in Stockholm, where I contributed to the urban design of the Södermalm district. This experience allowed me to gain direct insight into Scandinavian architecture. I hold senior designer certification (É-1/01-0693) and state language exams in English and Italian, with additional studies in French, Russian, and Swedish. I studied Italian both in secondary school and at the University of Perugia. Over the years, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, and the Far East, gaining exposure to diverse architectural heritage and contemporary works while building professional connections. I have participated in numerous domestic and international conferences (including EUROPREFAB) as both a speaker and attendee. I hold professional qualifications as a senior architect, forensic architectural expert, technical inspector, and responsible technical manager. I am a member of both the Hungarian Chamber of Architects and the Chamber of Forensic Experts.
