A prestigious award for an imposing monument in Budapest – The Millenium House

The Millennium House in Budapest’s Városliget (City Park) has been awarded the Bernhard Remmers Prize 2022 in the “International” category.

The Millenium House, Budapest

The 1,250 square metre building has been renovated as a cultural community space, with an interactive exhibition space and a small auditorium on the lower ground floor, which has been used primarily as a museum education space since 2019.

The rich Zsolnay decoration on the façade has been restored by dozens of restorers, while the interior design has been rebuilt by removing the retrofitting, thus restoring the original structure of the space. Large glass panels have been installed over the two wings of the building, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces. The main entrance of the building has been returned to its original position facing Hermina Street.

In front of the main entrance of the building, which is more than 130 years old, a rose garden of 1,500 plants has been created as part of the landscape renewal of the park, with a new Zsolnay fountain as a central feature, in harmony with the rich decoration of the building’s facade.
