RTL is one of the leading media providers in Hungary. Following the shift of paradigm of how we work today and how media connects with people physically and virtually – they moved their HQ and news studio to the city centre. They refurbished an existing building at the City Park. The house if famous for being the first protected monument as a modernist building in the country. RTL selected LAB5 architects in an invited competition earlier, where different studios had to design and realise different spaces for their old offices.

Our design respects the qualities of the old building, and provides a flexible, vibrant, open interior for the company.
