The project<\/h2>\n\n

The West End Business Center is a three-wing office building developed in several phases along Budapest\u2019s V\u00e1ci Road office corridor. The refurbishment initially focused on the main reception and communal areas used by EY, then expanded during the design process to include additional parts of the building and further functions. <\/p>\n\n

Due to the tight design schedule, BuildEXT developed a comprehensive digital model of the entire building during the concept design phase. This made it possible to integrate newly commissioned design tasks into the same coordinated design environment. The initial scope covering three reception areas, the adjoining staircases and a conference room was later extended to include a cloakroom, catering area, baby care room, yoga room, mechanical areas, washrooms and the redevelopment of the internal courtyard. <\/p>\n\n

The project aimed to modernise the building\u2019s communal, tenant and related service areas, while coordinating the architectural, interior design, mechanical and electrical upgrades. The design also had to take into account BREEAM Excellent and ACCESS4YOU certification requirements, as well as OTP Real Estate\u2019s corporate identity guidelines. <\/p>\n\n

    During the West End Business Center refurbishment, the renewal of common and tenant areas had to be coordinated with building-wide modernisation requirements. For the fa\u00e7ade and external lighting, energy efficiency, reduction of light pollution, durable and easy-to-maintain materials, and improvement of the building\u2019s urban appearance were also key design considerations. <\/p>\n\n
