As the second downtown investment of Autóker Holding Zrt., Király Udvar (King Court) stands at the historically significant corner of Király Street and Székely Mihály Street in Budapest. This prominent location is home to three eight-story buildings, offering a total of 143 apartments that cater to a wide range of preferences and needs.
The architectural design of Király Udvar is centered around an elliptical inner courtyard, which features two distinct levels: an upper hanging garden and a lower rest park. These serene spaces provide a tranquil retreat for residents amidst the urban environment.
The wrought iron railings adorning the apartment terraces are tastefully understated, reminiscent of the classicist cloister that once occupied this site. These elements not only enhance the building’s façade but also pay homage to the historical architecture of the area.
The site’s redevelopment involved the careful demolition of dangerously decayed structures. During this process, two 19th-century firewall advertisements, which once promoted the stores of Mór Grossmann and Kristóffy & Németh, were uncovered. Although it was not possible to detach and preserve these historical advertisements, Autóker Holding Zrt. took meticulous steps to document and honor their legacy. The advertisements were expertly covered, and photographs of them were added to the photo collection of the Museum of Kiscell at the Historical Museum of Budapest.
Furthermore, the memory of these historical stores is preserved within the hall of Király Udvar through two realistic oil paintings, each measuring 2 x 1 meters.
Király Udvar exemplifies Autóker Holding Zrt.'s commitment to blending modern living with historical reverence. The development offers a diverse range of apartment sizes to suit various needs, while the thoughtful incorporation of historical elements and serene garden spaces creates a unique and enriching living experience. This project stands as a testament to our dedication to quality, elegance, and respect for Budapest’s rich architectural heritage.
