The building is a telescope which points to lake Balaton. A telescope, because as we enter from the street we immediately recognize the water through the building, which becomes part of the facade. Simple geometric forms and thoughtful human-scale spaces meet. On the ground floor the facade opens to the lake with full glass surface, the border of inside and outside is blurred. The sight is for rest and relaxation.
