The reconstruction of the former headquarters of the Red Cross Society on Dísz tér is nearing completion. As a result of the National Hauszmann Program, another urban wound is being healed in the Budavári Palace District. The external appearance of the newly reborn Red Cross headquarters will already show its original form this year. The building will serve as an office, they write Facebook page of the National Hauszmann Program.
In some parts, the facade ornaments have already become visible, and the railing elements have also been installed around the terraces. In the spring, the specialists work on the decorative elements with a special cover layer, giving the facade a uniform appearance.
The roof will also be ready soon, and the patinated zinc sheet covering will be put on the corner domes in January. It is expected that the last decorative tin elements of the building, the grotesque headdresses decorating the domes, will be put in their final place during the summer. In the interiors of the Red Cross headquarters, the stucco work of the hall of honor began, which was based on the original plans and archival photographs.
