THE GREEN VALLEY – MORE THAN A PARK

The heart of the project is the green valley, a unique public landscape. Its impressive size, its

richness of habitats, and its connection to Budapest’s green corridor network upgrade the

notion of a park to a public green valley through which the rail tracks flow like a river.

A POROUS CITY EDGE ALONG A FASCINATING LANDSCAPE

Instead of consuming the open landscape by classically extending the urban structure,

we protect and develop the open landscape by establishing a porous city edge, a unique

threshold between city and landscape. The edge frames a generous green valley,

strengthening Budapest’s network of landscape corridors.

POROSITY MEETS DENSITY

The specific configuration establishes a synergy between high density and porosity with a

strong relation to the green valley.

THE LANDSCAPE-COUP – 200% LANDSCAPE!

The high density of the edge protects the generosity of the open landscape, enlarging the

green area by 200%, forming a great green valley as part of Budapest’s green network.

THE MOBILITY COUP – 2 STREETS MANAGE EVERYTHING!

The whole development is completely free of motorised drive-through traffic. The Tatai

Boulevard and the new Szomszéd (Neighbour) street handle all motorised traffic

requirements, providing all local access to the neighbourhoods.

200% FIRST ROW-PLEASURES

The meandering edge doubles the parkfront, providing more than 6 kilometres of first row

pleasures along the valley.

PARKVIEW FOR ALL

Moreover, the porous edge opens up the parkview for the buildings in the back. The

combination of diverse morpho-typologies, varying building heights, and their relationship

with public space, together with active mobility routes, enables constantly shifting visual

perspectives and creates a choreography between the user and the landscape.
