Liget Budapest Project - Introducing the House of Hungarian Music

The House of Hungarian Music, which won the Best Public Service Architecture Award at one of the world’s most prestigious international property competitions last year, will be built near the City Park Lake, between Vajdahunyad Castle and the Ice Rink, on the site where the dilapidated Hungexpo Offices stood unused for years. The new institution of c. 3,000 square metres will be constructed above ground on a nearly 10 thousand square-metre area thus far fenced off to the public, thus thousands of square metres of renewed green area will be available to visitors to the park. The environmentally friendly building designed by the world-famous Japanese architect, Sou Fujimoto (Hungarian partner: M-Teampannon) expressly seeks to provide a harmonious transition between the built and natural environments by creating a visual continuity between the external and interior spaces, while catering to the requirements resulting from the unique function of the facility.
