Headquarters of Magyar Telekom

136_1This huge building is the headquarter of the Hungarian incumbent telecom operator MATÁV, soon to be renamed as Magyar Telekom. This view is from the Toth Arpad setany in the castle (the side of the castle district facing the Buda Hills). The building was the center of the old Kogepterv. After a partial demolition, the reconstruction started in 1998. Encircled by the offices, the inside court had been covered, giving place to a conference center and a great hall with supporting pillars representing trees and the inclined roof of the 3 conference halls representing a vineyard. The reconstruction costed 5 billion forints and resulted in a 33.800 sqm office building.
