CET BUDAPEST / ONL oosterhuis_lénárd

Posted in Architecture - Mixed use by * FORMAKERS

rotterdam-based firm ONL [oosterhuis_lénárd]  completed 'CET', a mixed-use development in the center of budapest, hungary.

standing for 'central european time' and the hungarian word for whale, this structure on the banks of the danube takes on the curving form of a whale's body.

establishing a visual connection between the physically separated sides of buda and pest, the site returns riverside terraces to the city for the residents to frequent.

the promenade will open to the neighboring budapest technical university and gellert hotel across the waterway.

the contemporary tube of steel and glass is positioned between 19th century warehouses.

three of the six historic structures remained, weaving the addition to transition between the original and new buildings.

at the plaza entry, the transparent enclosure forms a pointed projection which soars overhead and directs towards other attractions such as the palace of arts.

inside, a central circulation spine is defined by an arching glass ceiling which spans from the masonry exterior walls and gable roofs creating an atrium filled with natural daylight.

the opposing end features a bulbous elevation which pushes outward from the parallel warehouses into the open area.
