GARDEN OF TÁG VILÁG SCHOOL, BÉKÁSMEGYER

 

An important aspect of the concept was to preserve existing garden elements in good condition and to exploit their potential by renovating deteriorated parts.

In the southern part of the courtyard, a new plant box has been created in place of the existing paving, which was in poor condition, and a wooden bench and platform has been added next to it. The existing asphalt pavement will be used as a skating rink, while the stairs at the western end of the pavement will be converted into a "bleacher". A launching ramp for scooter riders has been created and play elements for practising scooter tricks have been installed.

We consider it important to preserve as much of the existing vegetation as possible, so we have designed 20 cm high plant cassettes around existing trees in good condition, in order to protect their high root systems.

In addition to the expansion of existing play areas, finding places for quiet recreation and outdoor education was an important consideration. In the lobby of the building, an outdoor classroom was created by converting the existing seating wall, where children can walk around the map of the Earth, while on the west side of the garden children can relax on outdoor bean bags.

NURSERY, MONOR

 

Our concept takes into account the characteristics of the area and fits in with the building of the nursery. The site, while coherent in its concept, is divided into 3 main areas in terms of design and use:

- A representative reception area: a space at the entrance of the institution, divided by planted borders, which will function as the reception area of the building;

- Occupation zone: covered-open extensions of the group rooms, terraces are connected to the garden. The educational units, consisting of two or three groups, will also appear separately in the garden: easily recognisable and safely transparent garden areas will be created for young children. The same features are found in each of the garden areas (grassy hill + slide, sandpit, dolls house, log seats, log balancer, nesting swing).

- Boundary zone: the rear garden areas provide a good separation from the surrounding residential and service areas. A dense canopy of native and evergreen tree species with varying crown shapes forms a dense canopy. The economic zone will include a supervised orchard with periodic visits, complemented by a dryland pond.

BUDAPEST, BLÁTHY OTTÓ STREET

 

The underutilised parking lot on the side of Bláthy Ottó Street facing Péter Vajda Street will be transformed into a pedestrian and bicycle accessible park and a quality recreational area.

The planning area will therefore be completely transformed within the framework of Phase I. In addition, care has been taken to ensure that the appearance and design of the parking area to be regenerated under Phase II is in keeping with the former. The concept of Phase I divides the space into 3 main areas. A small events area will be created on the side facing Peter Vajda Street, where a memorial will be placed. A new playground will be created in the centre of the area, providing a playground for children aged 3-12 years. In the inner part of the park, a gathering space will be created for a barbeque and a Christmas tree. Three small hills will be used to delineate the spaces, to reduce traffic noise and to create a calm atmosphere in the park, while a pathway in the middle of the park will provide fast access to the public transport. Paved surfaces will be renewed and new green areas will be created.

The concept aims to create a pedestrian and cyclist-friendly area that will be reborn as a new colour for the area with new green spaces, sophisticated street furniture and a tidy environment.

GAGARIN STR. PLAYGROUND, MÁGOCS

 

Promoting community collaboration and connectivity was one of our priorities for the design of the playground on Gagarin Street in Mágocs, by creating orientations, emphases and logical access routes from each direction. These vibrant promenades connect a number of reception squares, emphasizing the feeling of arrival.  The shared play spaces consist of smaller pocket squares with seating surfaces and furniture.

While the playground design meets the requirements of EU standards, our aim was to create a playfield with a cheerful community feeling where locals have a sense of belonging, a shared identity.
Filling the area with functions will improve life quality on the long term, may stimulate socio-economic growth, and help with the migration trends of the settlement.

LEISURE PARK, CINKOTA BUDAPEST

 

Located in District XVI, Budapest, Cinkotai leisure park becomes a public meeting place for residents and youth of the district, providing a pleasant passage, featuring a variety of outdoor sports equipment to promote physical well-being. It makes its contribution to improve community life and strengthen social relationships.
The WWI monument dominating the space is complemented by a paved resting area. The left bank of brook Caprera is structured into terraces of stone blocks to make the water and the transitional vegetation accessible. To invite wonder and interest new trees and plant surfaces are designed, keeping the importance of the park's transparency in mind.
Modern street furniture and metal fitness equipment add further interest to the park. New candelabras are arrayed along the central hub and its main traffic directions. The memorial is is also illuminated within the framework of the rejuvenation works.

EXTREME SPORTS PARK, JÁSZBERÉNY

 

We designed an extreme sports park in Jászberény using the existing elements of the former ice rink. The layout of the area is adapted to extreme sports and provides space for additional elements (graffiti wall, meeting place).

The elements of the track were constructed with an additional concrete coating over the existing structure. We designed wooden seating areas where spectators and athletes can both relax, and secured an empty asphalt surface where trials can build the required infrastructure. This interface can also be used for seasonal concerts and award ceremonies.

The rejuvenated sports park, besides being attractive to athletes, must also serve as a meeting point for youth. The main goal was to create a popular, youthful, modern area. To make users feel at home, we placed mobile street furniture that can be transformed, moved to their own needs. The sports park is also equipped with a free climbing wall and an outdoor trampoline.

KINCSES SZIGET PLAYGROUND

 

The project was initiated in connection with the Metro4 project, due to the need for environmental management around the ventilation facility at Bocskai út. The concept was to create a treasure island-type (Kincses sziget means Treasure Island) atmosphere in the urban jungle. This is achieved by winding beaches, the palm trees, and a lush jungle atmosphere. The sandy play surface is marked by a loose rope fence with wooden posts. The playground offers activities for age groups 1-3 and 4-12. The adventure begins on a wooden crashed plane on the ‘shore’ with camouflage imitating rope-nets to climb, and continues in the “water” with a climbing labyrinth, slides and various other rope-climbing facilities to trigger children’s imagination. The labyrinth enables kids to explore climbing, balancing, suspension, developing physical dexterity, coordination and strength. Children have endless possibilities to test themselves in a safe environment with climbing ramps, metal climbing nets or a spiral stainless steel tube. The sand represents the sea, while the red rubber cover represents the beach. The right side of the bridge has the equipment suitable for ages 1-3, including sandboxes in the shape of starfish, dolphin swings, and a baby slide in the shape of a ship. The beach atmosphere wouldn’t be complete without palm trees we scattered around the site.

RÓZSA STREET KINDERGARTEN, BUDAÖRS

 

By commission of the Municipality of Budaörs, we designed a kindergarten playground located at 17 Rózsa Street. The design area has two distinctive parts, the green area to the right of the main entrance and the U-shaped courtyard.

The courtyard’s renewed asphalt pavement is coated with a playfully colored paint layer, while the playground is covered with a rubber pavement. The existing two sandboxes are allocated within the garden, trees and other vegetation are placed in planters.

The outer courtyard’s size proposes a larger green surface. The sandboxes and smaller sprint games are placed in its central lawn area. Delimited by a hedge, the swing and a playcastle provides a safe and cheerful playing environment.
