The projected building is another confirmation of the interest of leading Western architects in the countries of Eastern Europe in general and in Budapest in particular.
The business center on Servita Square should become a symbol of modern Hungary, emphasize its focus on economic and technological progress, and also - become a detail of the 21st century in the urban landscape, bearing traces of different eras.
It should also bring functional diversity to the development of the central districts of the city: there are not so many office buildings there, since it is difficult to turn historical buildings into a modern business complex without damaging their original structure. Therefore, it is especially important that such a building appears here next to residential buildings, hotels, shops and cafes, which are more focused on tourists.
The arrangement of an underground garage under the new building will help turn the entire area into a pedestrian zone, inextricably linked with it. The offices will be located on the upper floors of the building, the lower tiers will be occupied by shops, a nightclub, a café and a financial center, which will ensure the activity of city life in the Servita square area before and after the tenants' opening hours. A bar with a viewing terrace will open on the top floor of the building.
In order to harmonize the building with the surrounding buildings, Zaha Hadid made its dimensions vary depending on the urban planning situation: in the north its height is lower, since there is a small baroque building, and on the opposite side, the new business center will be higher, since next there is a church of the Servite Order of the early 18th century with a high tower. From the south-west, the new building seems very narrow, from the south and north, it is perceived as hanging over a small square. Due to its curved shape, the new business center looks different depending on the point of view.
Its facade, decorated with sun screens, smoothly merges into the surface of the square, and at its end rises again above the ground, forming a canopy that protects the resting citizens from the sun's rays and from the noise of the big city.
The motif of the sun screens is also preserved in the structure of the square, turning into a kind of benches, then into glazed surfaces through which the underground garage is illuminated.
