Bauhaus Reimagined by Studio Sarolta Huttl

Nestled within a 1932 Bauhaus villa in Budapest, this 90-square-meter apartment is a testament to thoughtful design and personal history. Designed for our family of three, this project was a collaboration between myself and my partner, Luka Kostil, director. The vision for the space was rooted in preserving the villa’s original character while adapting it to meet the needs of contemporary living.

Once part of a much larger unit, the apartment has been reimagined into a bright, functional two-bedroom home. The heart of the space is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. A standout feature is the restored, oversized window in our bedroom, which now channels light into the kitchen through an interior glass surface. This window is part of a custom-designed closet unit spanning from pillar to pillar. By day, it’s a clever storage solution; by night, it transforms into a glowing light installation. This home is not just a living space, but also a tribute to my family’s history, a reimagining of Bauhaus ideals, and an exploration of modern craftsmanship.
