Story of the planning process

Once upon a time there was a young architect in Transylvania, who found out that a dens area of world heritage is in danger. He decided to go and check what is it about. The place is located in the valley of  Carpatian mountains and connects 5 lakes ( Bear-, Piroska-, Red-, Green-, Mogyorósi lake) The Bear lake is a very special kind of a  thermal bath that is the result of the salt rocks-which are the basin of the lake-and the solar rises that can’t escape from the salty liquer. In the summertime the water can achieve 50/60 degrees in 1 m depth. The bathregion has a beautifully built haritage as well, that doesn’t have any regulation  how to keep or rebuild them. As a development of the area someone decided to do a utility plan, and thought that this will increase the value of Sovata and give an answer for the low tourist capacity. The architect knew that this concept won’t help and that he needs to find a team that can co-operate and save what is left there.      



The architect from Transylvania, Szabolcs Korodi found our studio and a project manager office, the Multinvest Kft. to work out the concept which could give a new perspective for Sovata to achieve it’s famousity from the Monarchi Era.

In our opinion, only a sensitive intervention can raise the territory to a Western-European quality level. The regulation of the preservation of built heritage, development of facilities and a high quality architectural design is necessary to reach the intention of being still tempting and satisfying for a new generation that has the opportunities to travel all over the world.
