About House of Music Hungary, Budapest:
The House of Music Hungary was built in Budapest’s City Park based on the design of the Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.
Construction began in September 2018 and the House opened to the public on 22.01.2022.
The building’s intriguing feature is the harmonious coexistence of the built and the natural environment, creating a space for music and nature to come together.
The House of Music Hungary has a threefold structure, both in terms of the building and the institution’s organisation.
The underground space houses a permanent and a temporary exhibition area covering over 2,000 square metres.
Two indoor halls at the level of the surrounding park are venues for live music events, concerts and workshops, while outside there is a garden area by the lake for enjoying concerts and performances at the outdoor stage while having conversations with friends.
On the first floor of the building, a library and club provide a space for reflection, study and education. The music education rooms offer sessions to bring young people closer to music.
The building won the Best Public Building in Europe and the Best International Public Building awards in 2019, while in 2020 it received the title of “the world’s best property development for music” at the Music Cities Awards.
Due to its distinctive design and extravagant yet close-to-nature atmosphere, many professional forums consider it an architectural or artistic attraction.
