The new community courtyard, located on the hillside once belonging to Zebegény's former mill, serves both the residents and elementary school students with its four small buildings. During the semester, I worked on the building integrated into the hillside, which functions both as a café and a community space. The uppermost level features a multifunctional area, where residents working remotely can gather if they seek social interaction. The building consists of a silicate shell and an internal structural frame with a wood emphasis. The interior design of the house is characterized by a minimalist, simple use of materials. In the harmony of plastered and wooden surfaces, in key spots, old, used pieces of furniture are featured.
