Nagy Judit Certifications 2022: CIJ Awards, The Best Upcoming Office Development, BREEAM Excellent , WELL Platinum 2021: FIABCI, Special Award of the National Association of Construction Entrepreneurs, 2019: Europa Property CRE Awards The «Budapest ONE» office building was opened in 2022 on the western outskirts of the Hungarian capital. The exclusive office building, with its unique shape and form, has become an iconic landmark at one of the city’s major transport hubs. The ambitious project has already won several real estate awards. Furthermore, it received the WELL Platinum certification and also the sustainability label BREEAM Excellent. On an almost oblong site, architects have created a nine-storey building with organically curved façades enclosing a landscaped inner courtyard. The ground floor houses retail, gastronomy, service, and leisure facilities. The office floors provide approximately 66,500 m 2 of stylish co-working spaces, state-of-the-art offices as well as conference and meeting rooms. The impressive office complex has a glass façade that is both simple and vibrant with its horizontal structure underscoring the dynamic curvature of the building. Vertical fins on the façade in shades of green and blue create softly shimmering colours that change depending on the viewer’s position. Sustainability was already a top priority during the project’s planning phase. The building’s shape, form and façade were designed and configured according to solar exposure and wind flow parameters. This makes the building’s energy consumption extremely low. Contributing to this is the highly efficient COOL-LITE® XTREME 70/33 II solar control glass from Saint-Gobain Glass. The high light transmission of the glazing creates a pleasant indoor atmosphere, while indoor temperatures also remain comfortable even under intense sunlight. Its thermal properties also provide very good insulation from outside winter conditions, further reducing heating costs. In addition to the glass products for the façade, several types of boards and systems for the partition walls have been supplied by Saint-Gobain Rigips® in this project: Habito® walls for impact resistance, Blue Acoustic walls for sound insulation, and DF Boards for fire protection. Furthermore, Ecophon Solo TM Matrix system has been installed for the ceilings. & Awards
