Body
The design prepared for the well-known editor is almost identical to the later plan made for the lawyer Dr. Gábor Kabay. The comfortable apartment comprises two separate rooms, both opening from a generously proportioned dining room. The dining room is connected to a separate covered porch, while a small flight of steps leads up to the entrance and the vestibule. Kós employed a hipped roof, which in this case lacks its usual sense of dynamism, probably because the roof pitch was reduced during construction.
The house was later extended with two additional rooms.
