Városligeti Fasor 8/b: An Architectural Gem from the Early 1940s in Budapest

Let’s head to Városligeti fasor 8/b, a street between Budapest’s 6th district and 7th district (this building is located in Terézváros, the 6th district). This address takes us to a beautiful lobby inside an elegant apartment building, constructed between 1941 and 1942.

The building was designed by Tibor Szivessy, a Hungarian architect who often included hidden treasures in his work. In 2022 and 2023, I had the chance to explore two other buildings by Szivessy: Bimbó utca 11 and Vármegye utca 15. Both feature stunning artworks by Margit Kovács, a renowned Hungarian ceramist who collaborated with Szivessy on several projects.

At Városligeti fasor 8/b, the lobby’s stained glass is the main highlight. It was designed by Jenő Haranghy and crafted by József Palka, adding a unique touch to this historic building.

I have launched Buildings Tell Tales in 2019, and since then visited and photographed over 1000 old buildings in Budapest. My goal is not only to take photos but to uncover the interesting stories hidden behind the old walls. By linking the stories of ordinary people such as workers, students, merchants, and domestic workers to specific places, I want to make the past tangible. Old buildings should be preserved not only for their aesthetic value but also for the memories they hold and the stories they tell.
