The ALUTA awarded two KAV buildings

Aluta-Nívódíj-2022-KAV
2022 / 07 / 04

After the successes of recent years, this year two KAV buildings were honored with the only recognition of Hungarian aluminium door and façade manufacturers, ALUTA Nívódíj. In the small project category, which includes residential buildings, the KAV project “Költőkert” in Mártonhegy, Budapest, was awarded the ALUTA Nívódíj. In the large foreign project category, our solutions for the Marriott Hotel in Iceland were recognized.

ALUTA announces a public competition every year to recognize architectural works that meet the professional expectations formulated in its objectives, including modern, creative, and environmentally conscious solutions in aluminium-glass facade construction, featuring innovative, environmentally conscious, rational, and certified structures. Only companies that consider the quality of production and products as an essential requirement for implementing their market strategy can become members of the association and be considered bearers of the ALUTA trademark.

This year, the ALUTA Nívódíj was awarded to two KAV buildings. In the small project category, the “Költőkert” project in the 12th district of Budapest was recognized. This bold residential garden, designed not only for Hungary but also for Europe, was conceived by Gábor Városi, an artistic advisor, and designed by TÉR Alkotó Tervező Kft. The project creates a world of uncompromising individual luxury combined with natural elements. The large terraces, unique glass facades, large frameless sliding doors, and unique structures reaching into the trees result in buildings harmoniously integrated into the landscape. From the perspective of doors and windows, the building consists of two main elements: a functionalist, landscape-integrated mass, and a lightweight steel grid that rests on it. In the connection of these two elements, large frameless sliding doors were placed by KAV’s experts into the curved glass facade. The minimalist appearance is ensured by concealed wing balcony doors and frameless motorized sliding doors.

In the large foreign project category, the ALUTA Nívódíj was awarded for the façade doors and windows designed and manufactured by KAV for the main building of the “Edition” luxury hotel of the Marriott Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland, as well as for two apartment blocks. During the design process, which required prototype production, a unique system had to be created to provide protection against extreme conditions, including wind speeds of up to 380 km/h and heavy rainfall, while combining the advantages of prefabricated and buildable facade systems. The KAV engineering team worked together with engineers from Reynaers, both at their central office and in Hungary, as well as specialists from Gluggar in Iceland to develop solutions for water insulation, fire propagation on facades, and special opening modes. The 4853 m2 glass facade implemented by KAV creates a special transition between prefabricated facade systems, curtain walls, and traditionally manufactured standard windows and doors.

At the ALUTA assembly, Károly Lovász, CEO of KAV, received the awards from Sándor Fegyverneky, the president of the professional association. The chairman of the judging committee was Dr. József Finta, a Kossuth Prize-winning architect, and the committee members were György Stocker, a university professor, and Sándor Fegyverneky, the former national chief architect.

Those about whom who nobody ever talks, or the eminences of manufacturing preparation
KAV's customers come into contact with several of our colleagues in the bidding, preparation and construction processes in the course of a job. These are our sales and estimation colleagues, our technical and manufacturing preparation engineers, our project engineers, and then our installation specialists. It is very rare that the end-user comes into contact with the manufacturing preparation engineers. In this article, we’d like to describe the work of these professionals in connection with the Continental Golf Club construction project.

KAV also helps the work of architects
From now on, KAV assists the work of architects with a complimentary consulting service. This is because, closing systems are such special structural elements that their thorough knowledge and following the trends is nearly impossible for those not specialised in this field. Now architects may ask their questions of Norbert Kiss, who worked as a designer for a long time himself, and now he has been strengthening the KAV team for years.

The Role of Windows in the Design Process, an Architect’s Perspective
Kenyeres László, a leading architect at the Archista architectural firm, believes that villa buildings can be considered small form factor public buildings. This is why he considers it crucial to consult with window and door specialists multiple times during the design process. This approach helps avoid situations where window and door companies have to "re-design" certain parts of the building during the construction phase.

The evolution of closing systems in Hungary
If one spends many years in a specialised technical segment, sometimes answering questions from a professional interviewer will inadvertently recall the period from the beginning to the present. Studying the evolution of window and door products used in residential buildings is also instructive, because fashion always changes along with demand and financial opportunities. Everyone sees the past differently - we, Hungarians are special in this - but sales figures outweigh perceptions.

The key to the realisation of large-scale glass structures is thinking together
Huge glass structures are definitive elements of modern buildings. It is therefore especially important that architects create the plans while thinking together with sector designers. On the questions arising while designing and constructing glass façades, we spoke with chartered architect György Mihály Stocker, reader in the BUTE and vice-president of ALUTA, who played an outstanding role as specialist consultant in the construction of the Hungarian House of Music in its present form.

The evolution of blinds
Climate change and increasingly sophisticated customer demands have accelerated the evolution of shading systems, not just of windows and doors. While in the past the goal was complete darkening, nowadays light control and maximum transparency are the main considerations. Thanks to this, most client choose lamellar and textile shadings.

The issue of shading is becoming increasingly important
The changing economic environment and rising energy prices are also impacting the construction industry. But how might the market for premium segment windows change? According to KAV's CEO, Károly Lovász, the focus will shift towards the issue of shading, and it is crucial for builders to select companies with a stable background and a qualified workforce.

Why is it worth choosing an aluminium front door?
When building or renovating a house, developers and architects may be wondering when it is worth deciding on an aluminium front door. In addition to durability, the main argument may be that aluminium can deliver dimensions and solutions that neither wood nor plastics allow.

For a smart home, product selection is key
For a newly built property, in terms of windows and doors, one of the most important questions is whether prospective residents would like a building management system in the house, as all solutions need to be tailored to this in the design phase. For today's systems, system-specific connector units and auxiliary modules must already be planned and positioned so that they can remain completely hidden.
