Vécsey Manor

This project belongs to a small group of Voysey-inspired designs, characterized by large white-painted façade planes and symmetrically arranged gables. The presence of Kós’s collaborator, Dénes Györgyi, and his heightened interest in English architecture at the time likely account for the somewhat mannered imitation of Voysey, which also appears in Györgyi’s works from this period.

Kós subsequently developed this planar symmetry further—most notably in the Székely National Museum—by detaching the two gables from the façade plane and articulating them as volumetric elements, thereby generating distinct spatial units such as courtyards or churchyards.
