The New York Palace, a mansion converted into a hotel and café, was recently restored to its former glory by Italy's Boscolo Group. The architects Judit Kaló and Bernadett Hild Csorba, project manager Giancarlo Munari and art historian Ferenc Vadas were praised for their efforts in the project.
The designers Ervin Jaklics, István Obermayer, Zsolt Szécsi and László Takács were cited for their work on the renovation of Ferihegy Terminal One, a listed building which was designed before WWII, but completed only in the 1950s.
The recipients of the award were among 16 picked from 158 applicants.
Earlier conservation projects in Hungary recognised with Europa Nostra Awards include the renovation of the central building of Budapest's Szabó Ervin Library, located in a former palace, and a facelift given to the carousel in the capital's Amusement Park.
Several projects in Hungary were also recently recognised with awards from the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). Among them were the Saint Ignatius Church in Győr, the former Hatvani-Deutsch Palace in Eötvös utca in Budapest, and the Dubniczay house in Veszprém.
