4 PLUSZ ARCHITECT STUDIO
Press appearances
The list below includes reviews of our work from architectural journals.
"Renovation of the historical Reformed Church in Fasor"
"That is why they commissioned Zoltán Berzsák, one of the architects involved in the current renovation of the historic building, who designed a garden to bridge the difference in levels."
"Church spaces must be made personal, but also perceptible as sacred spaces"
"When designing a church, the identity of the given community must be expressed in a building. How does what they think and want to express about God filter through me, and what kind of support do I receive from above? We talked about church architecture and the value-preserving and value-creating renovation of buildings with Pro Architectura award-winning architect Zoltán Berzsák."
"House of Gardener - Reformed Church and Congregation Home"
"We envisioned an opened, inviting building to convey that you can come in here. Since it was not possible to create a free space in front of the building, as was the custom in the past, we moved this space inside."
"Five granary, five story"
"The late Baroque abbey granary has stood in the center of Tihany since the early 19th century, serving tourism and culture in its modern role for over half a century."
"The Ráday House received an award for excellence"
"The Construction Industry Awards were presented on December 7 at the annual general meeting of ÉVOSZ. A total of 20 buildings were recognized in seven categories, and two certificates of recognition were also awarded."
"Ráday - house"
"In January 2019, a fire broke out in the Student Residence. It became clear later that the demolition of the dormitory annex and the functional rethinking of the building block were necessary."
"House of Gardener - Reformed Church and Congregation Home"
"The attention-grabbing and inviting but not ostentatious church was built on a long and narrow site"
"Recreation"
"The new college, while fulfilling the highest expectations of its function, enriches the visual map of the IX. district, and at the same time of Budapest as a whole, with a new intellectual and artistic sign through its huge cross of light shining triumphantly on its façade.
An architect can do no more in a single work."
"The drama of building is important"
"The churches in Csömör and Budaörs both bear the designer's unique signature and reflect his approach to light, which makes the building on Ráday Street in Budapest, which is still under renovation, truly unique."
Ráday street dormitory
"The new dormitory building built on the site of the Reformed higher education college in Ráday Street, Budapest, which burnt down in January 2019, and the renewed Bishop's See and Reformed Theology of the Danube region, which is located in the same building complex, were inaugurated"
"Fruits of the soul"
"It is a testament to its modesty that the building fits into the urban fabric that has developed over the centuries, thereby becoming part of the historical past."
"Inviting openness"
"Instead of the former house of worship hidden in a side street, a transparent, characterful modern building complex was built under the leadership of architect Zoltán Berzsák – "The Vineyard Owner's House" – which, together with its users, focuses on opening up to the city and building community."

"For where two or three..."
"Beyond the use of white-painted exposed brick, they are connected by the simple geometric construction of masses and spaces, the masterful integration into the settlement fabric, the abandonment of monumentality but not symbolism, and the restrained but appropriate use of ancient symbolism."
Budaörs Reformed Church and Congregation Centre
"The program was divided into two buildings, arranged in a construction following two architectural design principles, taking advantage of the terrain, the characteristics and constraints of the urban environment."
The winners of Pro Architectura award 2017
"With the renewal of the built values, in harmony with the modernly formulated expansion, a new quality has been created, the architectural approach, behavior and cooperation are an example of renewal stemming from the past to follow."
Parish Church of the Celestial Queen
"The basic program traditionally associated with the parish – the parish priest's apartment and office, religious education classroom, library, ceremonial hall, and guest apartment – moved to the existing main building with two courtyard side wings."
Parish Church of the Celestial Queen
"The transformation carried out with a fresh and decisive design approach has resulted in a modern, versatile community house and spiritual home, which the users clearly love. A small-scale but exemplary intervention: combined with the creation of new value, it is possible to save the built heritage"
Parish Church of the Celestial Queen
"With the restoration of the old parts, the transparent new wing and its discreet colors and materials the Parish Church of Celestial Queen presents an inviting social and reverent space."
"Community space - creation"
"The transformation, carried out with a fresh and decisive design approach, has resulted in a modern, versatile community house and spiritual home, which the users clearly love. A small-scale but exemplary intervention: combined with the creation of new value, it is possible to save the built heritage."
"Modernity infused with tradition"
"The thoughtfulness of the concept is indicated by the fact that the different functions are clearly separated in space and can be easily accessed without disturbing each other."
"The House of the Sower"
"The architects, Zoltán Berzsák and László Nyikos, presented a plan that respects traditions but also seeks approaches to contemporary Hungarian architecture and opportunities for progress."
"Bringing together past and future"
"The long-term goal of the municipality is to create a modern garden city, the first step of which is to create the missing city center. An important element of the new main square is the multifunctional building by Zoltán Berzsák."
