Essence Garden – a sustainably designed state-of-the-art workplace for Budapest
New images show the development of Chapman Taylor’s concept design for Essence Garden, Budapest, which is now at building permit stage.
Set in one of the most important office locations in the Hungarian capital, our design proposes an ensemble of three buildings, the tallest of which is 11 storeys. The architecture is elegant, modern and bright, with extensive glazing to let in abundant natural light and allow views out over the beautifully landscaped surroundings.
The tree-lined spaces between the buildings will be activated by a vibrant mix of retail, services and diverse F&B. Central to this is a square where people can meet in a peaceful park environment by a brook.
The stepped roof terraces host large outdoor spaces for office workers, providing external workspaces, informal team meeting areas and attractive spaces to unwind from the pressure of work. Balconies and terraces are landscaped, with greenery to soften the environment and provide privacy and natural cooling in line with biophilic principles. The design is targeting both BREEAM sustainability certification and WELL health and wellbeing accreditation.
