The „Balaton Riviera” was named after its special microclimate. The winds arriving from Balaton-felvidék refresh Balatonfüred and change the air of the lake and the city. It’s a healing place because of the pure, dust-free air and the thermal water.
Balatonfüred is a thriving centre for sailing. Ports and sailing yachts are part of the cityscape.
These two elements, namely the wind and the sail, were used as the inspiration in the formative composition of the building complex.
The highlands of Balaton-felvidék and the towers of the large hotels are decisive in the city contour. In this context, we tried to balance the mass of the previously built hotels with the towers of the planned hotel and apartment and to raise it to a landmark element with a more organic appearance then the existing buildings.
