This is a building in Budapest, Doh᮹ Str. 22-24, by the architect

J�zsef V᧳, built in 1908, about which it is special that it stays

the closest to the style of Otto Wagner in the Hungarian Secession.

The decorative elements are cubistic, and V᧳ displays enthusiasm

towards the technical aestetics as machine aesthetics. The rythm of

the facade comes from the ceramic nails fixings the ceramics plates.

The ship shape at the corner marks the entrance - this is a volume

effect. The side facades have the dynamic of waves, counterpointed by

a non-interrupted balcony at the last level. There are columns without

capitels up to the third floor.

Thank you very much for your kind comment.

 

My family (mother side) was from there, but right now I have only a far related uncle living there, the others emigrated.

 

Best wishes from Italy!
