Our office was responsible for the comprehensive BIM management and coordination of the Hungarian Architecture Center and Museum, a new building complex located on the former site of the Ministry of Interior Hospital at the corner of Városligeti Fasor and Bajza Street.
The winning competition entry, designed by Tér és Forma Szeged Építéstervező Kft. and BIVAK Studio Kft., envisioned an iconic building featuring distinctive architectural elements such as a tile roof reminiscent of Art Nouveau and a “Space Box” exhibition hall equipped with movable walls and ceiling. The high architectural ambitions of the project further reinforced the need for a unified BIM environment and the close coordination of models provided by the various engineering disciplines—ensuring the realization of the envisioned design.

The goal of the South Buda Central Hospital project is to create the most modern hospital facility in Hungary, capable of providing all forms of care.
The general designer approached us to support the building's design with BIM-based solutions, recognizing that alongside the client's BIM requirements, designing a building of this scale comes with additional software challenges. Initially, we had to establish and operate the Archicad and teamwork environment, and later, as the design progressed, we reviewed and integrated the engineering trades’ BIM models, conducting regular quality checks and clash detection to eliminate errors and support coordination.
The 250-room hotel planned for a downtown vacant lot had to meet high expectations: this project was intended to launch the property developer's new business division, so everything had to proceed seamlessly. In response to this challenge, the designers utilized BIM methodology with our help, which included creating the project’s BIM Execution Plan, providing Archicad consulting, conducting model audits, and clash detection.
The iconic building of Budapest, the Puskás Arena is one of the largest multifunctional arenas in Central Europe, rebuilt on the site of the former Népstadion, and successfully recreated by the general designer Közti to reflect the stylistic features of the original building.
This was the first public project in Hungary where BIM was part of the design tender. Our office staff supported the BIM-based implementation of the project from several aspects: preparation of the BIM Implementation Plan, collision checks, extraction and verification of quantities from the model, data collection from the model and plans to set up the digital building management system.

We designed a new building to relocate the Government Vehicle Supply Directorate. Our task was the complete planning and coordination of a six-storey, innovative parking garage for 430 cars, a repair and maintenance workshop, and an office block.
The primary focus in the architectural design was to ensure the building harmonized with the cityscape. We enhanced the predominantly fiber cement cladding with louvered sunshades and green facades.
Our architects coordinated the assessment of client requirements and managed collaboration and coordination across all disciplines. During the design phase, we conducted in-house BIM model audits and clash detections to ensure the highest quality for the design documentation.
The real estate developer Property Market aimed to realize the grand vision of the new BudaPart district with BIM from the very beginning. By auditing models and conducting clash detection on all disciplines, and supporting modeling to a level of detail precise enough to contribute to cost calculations, we were able to ensure high quality across several building projects.
For the first two office buildings, we audited the BIM models submitted by the designers on behalf of the developer. In later projects, we supported the architects in meeting the client's BIM requirements through clash detection and quantity take-offs.
