Historical cities in a modern light
Another place to undergo a highly successful renovation was an industrial hall on Lomb Street, Budapest. Architects Péter Gereben and Balázs Marián tapped into the original industrial atmosphere and structure of the property, while creating office spaces equipped for the demands of the 21st century. High ceilings, large glass areas, and a combination of black and white accents offer inspiring surroundings with an area of 5,000 m2. The name ‘Ferrum’, a new façade with an extension made of corten steel, and an original navigation system inside the building playing on the periodic table, hark back to the industrial origins of Budapest’s District XIII, where the offices are located. In the courtyard, what was once a car park has been transformed into a refreshing garden incorporating our Pin shelters and backless Vera benches, which accent the lawns and flowerbeds characteristic of this green space.
