Arrival at the site reveals the large factory hall, where the office units are located in the main building, adjacent to it. On the second floor of the main building there is an outdoor terrace with an important visual link to the garden. The main entrance area is divided into two parts. Each garden section surrounds a longitudinal ornamental pool. In the pool, custom concrete planters – so called pre-formed concrete rock gardens with planting medium – have been created. The pool is framed by biodiverse perennial beds planted with waterside and water-party plants, interspersed with paths and benches. To the east of the factory building, a leisure zone with a large lawn and oak trees along the axis of the pool was added. The seating area is framed by a variety of green borders and trimmed hedges along the site perimeter. The oak recreation area is framed by waving trimmed evergreen yew hedges.

The project is part of one of the country’s most significant industrial heritage sites – the former Northern Vehicle Repair – and was designed by an international design team. The building was designed by the world-famous architectural firm Diller Scofidio + Renfro, with M-Teampannon Kft. as the Hungarian partner. Our office assisted the international landscape architects (Gross MAX Ltd.) in the preparation of the permit and construction plans. Our goal is to provide a unique landscape experience by transforming a former brownfield area into a new, robust post-industrial environment. As an extension of the museum’s interior spaces, an accessible, extensive outdoor exhibition will be created, featuring an inspiring dialogue between man-made and natural elements juxtaposed, and the garden will also play an educational role through both the vegetation and the artefacts on display. In the surroundings of the new museum, a mosaic of different native plant communities will be displayed, representing Hungary’s rich diversity plant communities.

The diverse vegetation in the revitalised brownfield area can have a positive impact on the wider environment as a “diaspora” of biodiversity. The central feature of the garden, the multifunctional Event plaza, can be used as a venue for a variety of events. The complex combination of different plant surfaces, exhibits and paved surfaces creates a sense of intimacy, while offering exhibition areas and a variety of seasonal programmes. The site is already of strategic importance in terms of urban structure, and its role will be further enhanced by the new railway station. The garden and Népliget have an important green network connection, which will be further strengthened by a green pedestrian axis in the future.

At the junction of Váci road and Forgách street (on the site of the former Orion factory), a complex office park was developed between 2015 and 2019. The related reconstruction of the garden was also carried out in several phases, including the renovation of the public space at the corner of Váci road and Forgách street. Individually, the different phases have a unique character, but they also form a complete unit. On the roof of the former garage building, a representative roof garden suitable for recreation and sports has been constructed. The Lomb Street office building block was further divided into three smaller roofs. The interior and exterior spaces constitute a single unit.

The redevelopment of the Chinoin-Sanofi site in Újpest was carried out in several phases. The developments at the industrial facilities included the creation of new rest areas, perennial beds and a central plaza. Multi-directional perennial strips, also visible from an aerial photo, appear throughout the garden, making the large green spaces more inviting. Employees can walk through the factory halls and enjoy a relaxing garden experience.

The boundaries of the green spaces adjacent to the ground floor of the building designed by RóF Architects Ltd. are marked by the buildings and the circulation roads. Charming green islands were created on one side above the garage, where precast concrete elements were used to build 50 cm high raised garden parts. In some locations, benches have been designed on the raised parts, which provides a peaceful environment for garden visitors to relax in. Outside the building contour, a side, back and front garden was created between the remaining pavement and the building. These garden areas have the advantage of not being placed on slabs, so larger shrubs, evergreens and deciduous trees could be planted here to enhance the natural ambience of the garden. In the case of two building wings, it was also possible to create a roof garden on the second floor. The front garden serves a representational purpose, with decorative flowerbeds 30 cm high, indicating the individual facade features of the building.
