While in Óbuda the old was harmonised with the new, in Újbuda the plans for the new city centre and its dominant buildings provided a guideline. The Jazz Loft residential park is being built on a corner plot marking the edge of the city district, which was built between the 1930s and the 1960s. The new building conforms to the mill building, which will be renewed, as well as the neighbourhood’s intimate atmosphere. Its dominant materials are brick, stone and wood. The old and the new building will together enclose the huge future park-sized garden.
The Simplon garden is the corner building of the new city centre block, with a narrow courtyard but huge terraces. Its lines conform to neighbourhood’s characteristic, rounded-off corner houses. However, the dominant material of its façade is glass; in addition to the windows and wide terrace doors, it is also adorned with playful, colourful glass strips. Since behind its courtyard the city centre’s other sections will continue, the intimacy of the building will be created with a wall of plants running up the interior courtyard façade. In this way, stepping out from the bustle of the modern metropolis, the same quiet, restful living environment could be created as in Óbuda.
