History

In 1909-1910, Kós Károly was asked by his mother to design a house on their plot in Brétfű Street. The architect adapted his own plan, published in the April 1908 issue of the Hungarian Applied Art magazine under the title "The Manor House of the Artist", to the local conditions. This plan contributed significantly to the development of the architect's career. The building's interior reveals the influence of Finnish and English architecture. This is Kós Károly's first completed house.
