Vend street villa
The Rózsadomb villa, evoking the modernist spirit of the 1930s, was brought back to life under the leadership of the FBIS Architects team. The aim of the renovation was not merely to preserve the building, but to reinterpret it: while retaining the villa’s original character, its new identity was shaped in a contemporary form, adapted to today’s way of living.
Transformation
The building, whose proportions had previously been distorted by unsympathetic additions and improvised solutions, was stripped back to its essential elements by the designers. The original connection to the terraces and garden was restored, while the use of the roof was reimagined. The previously underutilised flat roof was transformed into a spacious, partially covered terrace and lounge, becoming the new focal point of the villa. The windows and doors were completely renewed, with slim, aluminium-clad frames designed to reflect the refined proportions and clean lines of 1930s modernism.
Interior spaces
The interiors are defined by functionality and understated elegance: bright, uncluttered spaces, concealed storage, and carefully crafted details are all the result of a thoroughly considered design approach. The interior design concept responds to the natural flow of the spaces and the everyday rhythms of family life.
Contemporary Modernism
The villa thus evokes both the formal purity of the Bauhaus and the human-centred character of Scandinavian functionalism. The essence of the project lies not in replicating the past, but in reinterpreting it for the present: a contemporary, livable, and elegant reinterpretation of the values of Modernism.
