“SONO SEMPRE STATO ATTRATTO DALLA CERAMICA; PER QUALCHE TEMPO VOLEVO PERFINO DIVENTARE UN CERAMISTA. LA CERA- MICA È UN MATERIALE EMOZIONANTE E DI GRANDE EFFETTO, CHE È STATO ADDIRITTURA ASSIMILATO ALL’UOMO. LE SUE PRINCI- PALI CARATTERISTICHE SONO LA NATURALEZZA, LA FACILITÀ D’USO, LA VERSATILITÀ, LA DURATA E LA POSSIBILITÀ DI OFFRIRE UNA VASTISSIMA GAMMA DI COLORI. È UN MATERIALE NATURALE COME LA PIETRA O IL LEGNO, ED È CONNOTATO DA MOLTE OTTI- ME QUALITÀ. LA CERAMICA ARRICCHISCE L’ARCHITETTURA”. Zoltàn Kun

Budapest’s Klauzal Market Hall was built back in 1897 and has faced alternating fortunes related to the area it is situated in. After an initially quiet period, it experienced an increasingly steady development during the early 1900s. After the Second World War it started to degenerate slowly and lose its potential. It was finally closed down in 2013. Shortly after, the Municipality entrusted Zoltàn Kun from Kunyho Studio with its restoration to adapt it to contemporary needs. The redevelopment intervention maintained all of the building’s distinctive original elements – steel structure, its roof and façades – and has transformed the market hall into a modern shopping centre. The basement was completely changed to house the warehouse and other service spaces. It was made accessible from the road through a new ramp, thereby solving the problem of goods delivery. The flooring of the shops on the ground floor was reinforced. The hall built in 1987 was demolished and the new one was based on the original structure so as to be able to exploit the entire building. The ceiling over the walking area at the main entrance is made of steel and glass. From here, you can access the market hall, which features a full-height central aisle and a mezzanine floor. An approximately 1,000 sq.m space was obtained on one side for the climate-controlled supermarket. Other shops are located on the opposite side and the first floor. The Municipality of Budapest, which backed the restoration, specifically requested a space for public events. Inspired by the ancient Roman marketplaces, the designers created a central square with a stage for food events and dances, where the stalls can easily turn into restaurant tables. The original 19th-century structures define the space and atmosphere with cast-iron columns, wooden roof, and large windows. Materials and components were carefully selected for adding new elements and fitting into the setting while ensuring specific performance requirements.

Throughout the building, tactile paving and signage
During this stage, the floor covering played a primary role, not only for the technical and functional aspects, which had to meet specific performance requirements, but also from an aesthetic and compositional point of view, as it had to coexist with the style of a building dating back to over a century ago. The choice of using small porcelain stoneware tiles, which hint at the existing ones, as well as their particular full-body structure – which brings to mind the grit widely used in architecture between the late 1800s and early 1900s in Budapest – give a contemporary edge and ensure that the technical and safety requirements are met.
