Lake
Balaton contemporary architecture
guide publication: ERA 21, 2012/1 Over the past decade,
the development of the Balaton region gained new momentum with the advance
of quality tourism and a number of projects that deserve international attention have been implemented
as a result. The lakeside lifestyle also underwent transformation simultaneously; beside the summer
houses and hotels, larger yacht clubs and the corresponding apartment houses have also
appeared. With the completion of the motorway linking the region to
Budapest, the Balaton region
became the capital’s agglomeration, with an increasing number of people choosing to reside
by the lake permanently. For contemporary architecture, the lakeside and the characteristic surrounding landscape form the primary inspiration,
with local building materials
and the application of rural architectural forms also being
definitive. The experimental
late modern architecture
of the 60s is an important
reference; this period was exceptional
in the lakeside’s architecture even by international
standards. Starting
the trip around the lake
on the northern side, the
summer house of Éva Fortvingler and Tamás Bulcsú offers a magnificent lengthwise view of Lake Balaton
from the top of the loess wall
of Kenese. The house, built on
posts on slanting terrain has partly been carved into
the hillside while partly being supported by posts among
the tall pine trees. As
typically is with summer residences around Lake Balaton, the bedrooms requiring a higher degree of intimacy occupy the upper floors,
while the boundaries dissolve between outdoors and the social areas
of the ground floors. In Alsóörs, Bernd Steinhuber’s villa on the
southern slope of the Balaton Uplands is a fine alloy of contemporary Austrian architecture and the Balaton landscape. The modest, yet grandiose modern construction makes the building stand out from its ambiguous environment. The funeral
chapel of Felsődörgicse was
built for the local residents, where the sacrality
of the interior has been achieved by the sensitive
application of natural materials and light. Underneath the airy roof structure
the interior is sealed by glass
ceiling, the elevated ceiling being lit by
the light sifting out at night. The picturesque Káli-Basin is found among the
mountain ranges of the
Balaton Uplands. Its old granges and peasant houses attract a constantly increasing number of tourists and residents to-be. In Monoszló, an old peasant
cottage has been
converted into a summer
house, by adding a light construction summer kitchen to the house’s
stone walling, emphasizing the temporal difference between the old and new parts of the building. In Köveskál, a detached house in compliance
with contemporary comfort requirements has been built in the place of an abandoned cottage. The architects placed a lean composition of buildings in the field, taking over the mass forms
of folk architecture as well as
the spandrel wall construction covered with white mortar. The international award-winning wine processing plant of Laposa Winery was built as part of its complex development
project of the world famous wine region
of Badacsony. The mass of the
building smoothly slicks to the volcanic
slope similarly to a solidified flow of lava, its white
concrete facade elements being woven across with an individual scroll pattern. Turning back to the lakeshore,
the application of the seemingly incomplete raw concrete on Tamás Tomay’s summer cottage at Györök is a daring
solution, which however holds the composition together in a calm and orderly manner rather than creating
contrast. The new beauty centre of the Hévíz Spa was
built when the complex was
developed, the sight of the interior space – when seen through
its elevation - giving an impression of perfume phials under glass. The precision of the glass cover in a light hue and the duality it
presents against the greenness of the walls grown
over with creeper plants gifts the building with exciting suspense. One of the first examples
of the lakeshore apartment houses was the Balatonlelle Yacht Club,
where the complex development project also included a marina and a night club. The red mortar on
the facades of the buildings is reminiscent of a characteristic
building material of the region, the red
sandstone. Along with the development of yacht tourism, more and more old harbours are being converted to cater for the increasing demand. In the port of Balatonszemes, the new composition of two apartment blocks was built on a stretch of land extending into the water, their elevations taking on the pattern of the beach landscape. Domonkos Wettstein +1 Hello Wood is a multicultural-multidisciplinar art program at the charming
village of Csórompuszta
in the Balaton Uplands. Their mostly known event is the one week
creator camp held every summer,
where well-known and recognized experts and artists share their knowledge with talented students. Hello Wood integrates
various fields of art,
design and science; it creates community and encourages talent. It brings together
students and professionals
across borders, moreover connects everyday people with the
designer community.
