Krisztina Palace office block in Nagyenyed Street connecting Krisztina Boulevard with Böszörményi Street has been completed as the first project of Brussels-based Codic International in Budapest to house offices with a total area of 18,000 square metres. The district would like to have a centre with the atmosphere of a provincial town here with the surroundings of Nagyenyed Street as one of its main components. The first designs were made by Dezső Ekler’s architects’ office. Determined in many ways, almost like a checkmate problem, its almost unique opportunity of design is provided by a facade of 75 metres.
