Reformed Student home by BIVAK Studio

"The excitement of Pápa, with its artisanal-eclectic atmosphere, lies in the layers of temporality discernible from its buildings. The new student dormitory seamlessly integrates into the continuity of the urban landscape with its massiveness and plastic plaster architecture. The building carries within its color and window details the architectural features of the Reform era and late Baroque appearance of the downtown area, but it reinterprets them with contemporary architectural solutions." (Excerpt from the article published on epiteszforum.hu about the building.)

Sauna by BIVAK Studio

"Now I see that the sauna, standing on stilt-like legs with its huge window surface, also resembles an old television set, you know, the warm, cathode-ray tube type. The river flows slowly, still devoid of foliage, with a grayish-brown winter landscape. We sit here in the sauna, just the two of us - me and time. Silence, the scent of hot wood, gray sky, no birds, no boats. I lazily stretch, flex my joints, wipe sweat off my arms, chest. It's good here. I meditate, become fluid myself. I let something homely, carefree, and friendly surround me. Rarely does one feel this way in a man-made object. I've reached my destination." (Excerpt from József Martinkó's article - octogon.hu)
