During the design process, we explored the possibility of transforming the building section constructed in the 1960s in a Socialist Realist style. However, its rigid structure, with a central corridor and column-supported layout, made modern functionality difficult. Additionally, basement parking could not be accommodated by simply developing the existing courtyard. Therefore, this part will be demolished and replaced with a new building.

A parking garage will be built under the entire courtyard, accessible via a car lift from Csokonai utca. Above it, a greenroof garden with greenery, water features, and varied terrain will be created. The new extension will be a two-story structure with a mezzanine under the roof, housing nine apartments with different layouts and sizes. The building will have its own circulation core, while a semi-open covered passage will connect the villa and the new apartment-hotel.

The villa’s main spaces will include a salon, a dining hall serving the entire complex, and a small guesthouse. A new staircase will be added, following the original vaulted space. The villa’s basement will house a wine vault, accessible from the apartment-hotel. The full heritage restoration of the Blaha Villa is also planned.
