Népliget Center, Phase I
Népliget Center is a three-building office complex located in Budapest's 9th district, near Könyves Kálmán Boulevard and Üllői Road. Building A was completed in the first phase, following a unified architectural concept developed for the entire complex. The buildings are arranged around a shared internal garden, with their distinctive volumes, facades and rooflines forming a dynamic yet cohesive architectural ensemble.
Our responsibility was to provide project management services for the first phase. One of the key characteristics of the development was its phased implementation. The design had to accommodate both the independent operation of each building and its integration with subsequent development phases. Through our project management activities, we supported the organisation of the project and coordination among the parties involved.
Energy-efficient technical solutions played an important role in the development. Solar collectors supported domestic hot water production, while modern cooling technology and automatically controlled lighting systems contributed to energy-efficient operation. In recognition of the energy performance of the entire Népliget Center complex, the developer Skanska received partner recognition under the European Commission's GreenBuilding Programme.
The first phase provided modern, flexible office spaces in an urban location with excellent public transport connections. Building A also laid the foundation for the subsequent completion of the office complex.
