On the periphery of Felsőörs, the northernmost village of the Hungarian Riviera, that is Lake Balaton, there is a single stable towering above its surroundings on a larger estate with stands necessary for animal-keeping. Nestling into the landscape with its every cell, this generous and rich outbuilding is an authentic design of the Balaton Upperlands. There could not have been a more suitable site for this building: it actually enhances the aura of the location. The goal of the design task included activities associated with horse-keeping: besides the stables, the riding hall and other, associated activities there was the opportunity to convert the loft of the stable later on into temporary residential places, accommodations or even a guesthouse. This mansion evokes the designs of those built here in Balatonfüred in a rural style at the end of the 19th century, and suits the classic forms and spatial configuration as well as the taste of the land-owning middle-class in every detail.
