The former border crossing in Kőszeg had a distinctive appearance and, in my opinion, possessed a 
valuable building. It was a crucial aspect of my plan to preserve this building by transforming it into a 
bicycle and tourist center, giving it a new purpose. A ground-floor structure, partly made from existing 
elements, connects to the bivouac accommodations here, serving as service functions. In designing 
the new structures, I aimed to use as much natural and recycled materials as possible. The walls were 
constructed using rammed earth technology, incorporating on-site construction debris, crushed 
asphalt, and concrete as additives. The structure, made of steel pipe frames with climbing plants, 
provides shaded, covered-open areas from spring to the end of autumn, thus expanding the usable 
space for the period when the highest number of visitors is expected.
