BARTÓK MEMORIAL HOUSE BUDAPEST

THE FORMER VILLA OF BÉLA BARTÓK, THE FAMOUS COMPOSER, WAS REVITALIZED AND CONVERTED INTO A MEMORIAL HOUSE IN 1981. WE DESIGNED A CONCERT HALL FOR 50 PERSONS, A MUSIC SHOP, AN AUTHENTICALLY RECONSTRUCTED WORK- ROOM OF BARTÓK, A PERMANENT EXHIBITION ROOM AND ALSO SERVICE ROOMS. IN THE GARDEN OF THE VILLA A "MUSICAL THEATRON" WAS ERECTED FOR OUTDOOR CONCERTS. RIGHT NEXT TO IT STANDS THE FULL SIZE SCULPTURE OF BARTÓK BY IMRE VARGA.

THE ASSIGNMENT WAS TO RECALL THE ATMOSPHERE AND TO CREATE THE ARCHITECTURAL PORTRAIT OF BARTÓK. THE ARCHITECTURAL, INTERIOR, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, LANDSCAPE, ETC. DESIGN OF THE BUILDING WAS REWARDED BY MANY AWARDS.

COMPLETITION: 1981

RECENTLY SOME ALTERATION MADE WITHOUT PERMISSION OF THE AUTHOR OF THE ARCHITECTURAL WORK.
