In 1872, Count Menyh\u00e9rt L\u00f3nyai has this mansion built as his family home after designs by Mikl\u00f3s Ybl on the Castle Hill in Buda. In 1915, Baron Lajos Hatvany, the world-famous art collector purchased the building which was entirely demolished in 1945 by bombardments. After the war the ruins were cleared up, and a playground was built on the site. In the latter half of the 1990s architect J\u00f3zsef Ker\u00e9nyi was commissioned to restore the mansion. He completed a detail of the sample facade when the design board finally rejected it. Then Ker\u00e9nyi gave up the idea of working on further designs for the already structurally finished structure, and the project was taken over by BORD Architects managed by P\u00e9ter Bord\u00e1s. The house was clad in limestone to adjust to the original architecture. In the direction of the panoramic views, a double-layer facade was designed with an internal plane of glass, whilst the external plane is clad in 48 electronically controlled stone-enveloped ferro-concrete panels that can open up the facade at the push of a button. Besides, thanks to the wide wall structure the wings opening up at a 90 degree transform into the frame of the opening, and thus one of the most beautiful detail of the building. The top floor of the mansion serves representative functions today. Benath there are offices, and also a restaurant on the ground floor. According to the re-considered and revised concept, a formative component of the areas beneath the terrain level is the abutment designed by Ybl tapering upward and supported by buttresses. This is where B\u00e1stya room is housed made complete with a concert hall for 120 people, exhibition rooms and the garden with exposed medieval ruins. The terraced space is coordinated by an oval, slightly cupola form drywall suspended ceiling designed by Tadao Ando.<\/p>\n
