Eiffel Palace is an exceptional example of the investor\u2019s attitude prioritizing the preservation of the city\u2019s values besides the interests of clients. The reconstruction of the building has been realized as a project reflecting this, Thus a prestigious office block was created which is also sensitive to architectural values and thus inspires similar ones. The building was built between 1893 and 1894 to house the editorial offices of Pesti H\u00edrlap, a daily paper then, and its printing press, as well as apartments to rent. World War II caused serious damage to both the facades and the cupolas of the attic \u2013 including their complex structures. These were partly restored but they failed to rebuild the cupolas and the ornaments. Since 1996 it has stood unoccupied. During the conversion stage the glass roof was elevated above the fifth storey to expose the richly decorated cast-iron frame of the former wrap-around internal gallery. The interior facades facing the courtyard are actually homogeneous frameless glass partitions behind the facelifted wrought-iron structures: they are receded to evoke the system of external wrap-around galleries of the former building. The cast-iron structure is supported by V struts on the ground floor with bases of various size whilst on the shorter side by steel pillars of slanting planes. The roofed-in courtyard is a public area which can be freely used by anyone \u2013 which makes it an important factor of both the everyday life of the building and that of the the city. By preserving the facades and restoring them to their original beauty, the building was made to be able to keep the architectural traditions of Budapest alive and perfectly integrate into the cityscape which dates back to several centuries.<\/p>\n
