For several centuries, Budapest\u2019s Naphegy and Krisztinav\u00e1ros districts \u2014 both wedged between Buda Castle and the Hillside \u2014 functioned as the “back gardens” of Hungarian history. Although the fragmented building patterns and detached blocks floating on wooded and landscaped plots create a certain sense of spaciousness, the architecture rarely represents a value that aligns with the location’s prestige. A counter-example of this is a former villa which has been recently converted into a mini-cr\u00e8che based on the designs of architect Bal\u00e1zs Cs\u00f3ka. Only secondary modifications were made to the original building\u2019s contours: the entrance received a distinctive canopy, and the volume of the main facade\u2019s tower was re-interpreted. To complement and frame the roof forms of the original plans, a pavilion-like installation was created, becoming one of the building’s most dominant constituents. The structure\u2019s contours faithfully follow the original drip-edge and broken-plane design, yet its external appearance is unmistakably a contemporary one. This openwork, diamond-grid structure serves no direct function, but provides an identity-shaping vertical closure to the composition. The bold use of colors and the interior design offer children a rich experience of objects and materials.<\/p>\n
