Working process

The Museum of Fine Arts Budapest is Hungary's largest and finest art museum.

This building was built in between 1900 and 1906 plans by  Albert Schickedanz.

We are worked on dust and paint covered, damaged architectural elements in the Italian Area.

This project got an Europa Nostra- Awards in May of 2020. 

Reconstruction of Hungarian Royal Buda Castles's riding hall

The original Stables of the Royal Palace was built at the outer area of the western walls of the Castle in 1899 the Austria-Hungary's best architect's plans by Alouis Haussman and  Miklos Ybl.

The original building of the riding hall perished by sevaral shots during a seige in

the Second World War. 

I made the building's all reliefs, ornaments and sculptures in the reconstruction project by the original Haussman's plans.

Restoration of Diamond Way Buddhist Centre

The project highlights one of the largest secular Buddhist centres in the world, located in Budapest. The site preserves historical elements while transforming the building into a peaceful cultural and spiritual space. The building originally was the first factory of the Dreher family (Austro-Hungarian Empire). I worked on the facade and I restored the building's damaged sculptures with my collegue at Knossos Restaurator ltd.
