A Family Villa in Budapest With Colorful, 1960s-Inspired Interiors
Built at the turn of the 19th century, this villa in Budapest has been remodeled with bold and colorful, pop art-inspired interiors.
Designed by Hungarian studio POSITION Collective, this 2,099-square-foot, two-story villa on Rezeda Street in the Pest area of Budapest is home to a family of four.

Much of the villa's exterior was left as is, but its high-ceilinged interiors were completely renovated.

The original floor plan consisted of multiple separate rooms. POSITION Collective reconfigured the layout and transformed the upper level into an open-plan space where one functional zone flows into the next.

The lower level of the villa is allocated entirely to the parents, which includes a bedroom, bathroom, and private living area.

Here, multiple large windows look out to panoramic views of the urban areas of Pest. The windows also bring plenty of sunlight into this part of the home.

Next to the living lounge is a gray storage wall unit with built-in shelves for books on one side, and storage cubbies on the opposite side.
Near the dining area, a wooden console rests against the wall storage unit, while a kitchen sink and built-in oven sits on the opposite side, facing the kitchen.

When selecting the furniture, POSITION Collective chose eclectic pieces with 1960s-inspired, geometric forms.

The villa's clean, white walls and ceilings and light-colored wooden floors serve as the perfect backdrop for the sharp lines and vivid colors of the furniture, lighting, and art.
