University Avenue is one of Debrecen’s main roads, leading from the city center to the University and to the Great Forest of Debrecen, which is the “lung” of the city. Our common goal was to create a contemporary residential building that is functionally expressive, unique in its appearance, and contemporary in its atmosphere, yet blends sensitively with its surroundings. The service areas and parking spaces are located in the building’s three-story lift basement. On the ground floor, there is a reception area and a restaurant, with a terrace. The reception serves 60 apartments. The roof level has two functions: an exclusive two-story penthouse, and an impressive wellness area. The curved façade, a feature of the building, is made of curtain wall segments, which, due to the shape of the house, do not have two equal sections. Moreover, the contours of the plan vary from level to level.
