Péterfy Sándor Street Hospital and Outpatient Clinic I.
Péterfy Sándor Street Hospital Reconstruction and Design of a New Emergency Facility
The first hospital on the site of Péterfy Sándor Street Hospital and Outpatient Clinic was established on 1 November 1848, while the first building was put into use on 4 January 1849.
The present-day “main building” was originally constructed for the Private Employees’ Insurance Institute (MABI) and represented an outstanding standard of both functionality and architecture in its time. In 1951, it became the country’s first integrated hospital and outpatient facility.
Following decades of intensive use, the reconstruction of the hospital became both timely and necessary. As part of this process, a new building was designed to accommodate the capital’s psychiatric emergency centre, as well as a new intensive care unit and a modern central operating theatre level serving the departments located in the main building.
As general designer, CÉH zRt. prepared the concept design coordinating the functions of the existing building (16,000 sqm) and the new building (8,500 sqm), and, following its approval, delivered all design phases required for permitting and implementation.

One of the key challenges of the project was to transform the decades-old functional layout of the existing building in line with contemporary healthcare protocols. The plans had to accommodate professional requirements and the expectations of efficient staff operation, while also creating the most favourable treatment and recovery environment for patients and ensuring appropriate spaces for visitors. At the same time, the central functions of the new building had to be connected to the departments operating in the existing building in the most efficient way possible.
The entire design process was carried out using 3D digital modelling, and the delivered plans also introduced forward-looking sustainability solutions, including the green roof and green façade design of the new building, as well as the placement of photovoltaic panels on the roof.
