Kortárs portikusz : A Perczel-kúria felújítása Bonyhádon

Abstract

Restoration of monumental buildings often leads to an excess of adaptions or interventions, here is an example of a restrained form of restoration. The existing building and its immediate surroundings have been faithfully restored using traditional materials and skills. Unusually this mansion did not have a formal portico which lead to some confusion as to where the main entrance is located. During the restoration process it was decided to add a contemporary portico, which for reasons of practicality and design ethics has been placed adjacent to the entrance - an appropriate answer that has minimal impact on the existing building.
