Apartment Building
Vám Utca 1B, Budapest
1937
The
benefits of the economic and space-saving Bauhaus style became accepted
in Budapest initially mainly through constructions in the form of
apartment buildings.
This building in the small Vám Utca, south of the Batthyány tér, is one of three exemplary buildings, which were commissioned by a group of real estate agents.
It is of coherent functionalist ideas and is characterized by the wavy facade, representing a highly experessionisic formal language.
Located very close to the bank of the Danube river, this façade establishes a relationship with the nearby water.
In this facade, the wavy bay window merges with the adjoining balconies. The party wall disappears deliberately behind a double glass facade.
The functional aspects support the large and elegant gesture of the wave.
