In the main square of Újpest, on Szent István Square, in an eclectic building built in the 1870s, the Roman Catholic parish of the Queen of Egek has been given a new location. Thanks to an exchange agreement with the local government, the building of the former Erkel Ferenc Music School was transformed into the home of the congregation's community events and gatherings.


The reconstruction was designed on the basis of contemporary photographs, the latter intervention being based on two cross-wings with a modern tone, which were designed to be fully transparent and permeable at ground level, both visually and functionally. The functions of the rooms are based on the density of use, and the use of materials and colors has been deliberately restrained to reflect the many ecclesiastical "heritages". The most important aspect of community building is its impact on the community (including its usability, practicality and the message it conveys to its immediate and wider environment.)
