Budapest Visegrádi 17

Secession Revival

The goal of the “Secession revival” visualization series is to digitally restore the formal beauty of forgotten buildings in Budapest. Without proper restoration efforts, their unique Art Nouveau character risks being lost to time.

Before / after 3D restoration

The Visegrádi 17 was one of the first residential buildings in Budapest designed by the Vágó brothers and finished in 1905 in the spirit of folk Art Nouveau.

Design & innovation in the 1900s

The Zsolnay pyrogranite decoration was originally yellow, while the stucco and plasterwork were two-toned, featuring shades of grey. It was also among the first buildings in the district to be constructed with an electric network and equipped with an elevator.

Digital restoration

The 3D reconstruction not only restores its lost elegance but also serves as a vision for potential future renovations and an inspiration for carefully integrated rooftop extension that respects the building’s historic character.
