Debrecen, Hungary
In the past 20 years, Debrecen has not seen a residential development of this scale. The 237-unit apartment complex is located on the edge of Nagyerdő, near the university campus, in a residential neighborhood. Our architectural concept provides a refined response to the transition between different urban districts, harmonizing the shift in scale.
Debrecen, Hungary
The new residential park consists of five narrow buildings positioned perpendicularly to Dóczy Street. Their spacing reflects the rhythmic arrangement of the detached residential houses along the street. Facing the sports fields across the road, the complex features 8-story facades. As it turns the corner onto Békessy Street, the building volumes gradually adapt to the scale of the surrounding condominiums.
The parallel building blocks, along with the green corridor between them, create a dynamic and layered spatial experience. Green rooftop gardens, sunlit patios, and vibrant terraces add variety to the composition. These distinct volumes are interconnected by a floating garden above street level. The long, continuous roof ridges occasionally merge, forming a striking, iceberg-like silhouette.
