French architecture studio Coldefy in collaboration with Demeter Design Studió (DDS) has completed the first phase of housing at Lake 11 Home & Park, a major new lakeside residential development at the picturesque edge of Budapest’s 11th district.

Coldefy and DDS were selected through a competitive process to design 175 homes for three lots in an eight hectare masterplan. Technical coordination was carried out by local architects Ötelem. The scheme provides a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments across three typologies designed to respond to the topography and landscape of the site. At the north of the site, row houses sit on the highest elevation of the site providing views across the natural landscape. The park houses, at the east and west portions of the site, define the boundary of the residential parkscape at the centre, while the lake houses are located on the water that marks the southern edge of the site. The range of apartment types and flexible layouts support evolving residential needs, offering a sustainable alternative to single-family housing. The project aims to provide flexible homes to support changing work-life patterns.
