The ResoArt Villa
History of the ResoArt Villa
The Resonator Ltd launched the first phase of the villa’s full-scale restoration in 1998–99. During this period, the attic was built in, and the staircase and upstairs rooms were restored to their original style. This dedication to preserving architectural beauty and cultural heritage was recognised with the Budapest Architectural Award of Excellence Memorial Plaquette in 1999 and the Podmaniczky Award in 2000.
The architectural and interior design work for this initial phase was carried out according to the plans of architect Flóra Csabai and interior designer Ágnes Reichard. Renovation efforts resumed in 2015, bringing new vibrancy to the façade with fresh colours, while the doors and windows were refitted with stained glass—once crafted by Miksa Róth—faithfully reproduced using early photographs.
On the ground floor, the interconnecting salons were transformed into a spacious open area, linked by four-winged doors. This now serves as the Kőrössy Salon, a space dedicated to community and the sharing of cultural values.
The private club hosts high-quality cultural events, reviving the traditions of this once lively and elegant district, renowned for its rich cultural scene. A significant milestone in the villa’s history is its opening to the public, fostering an appreciation for quality cultural experiences and intellectual engagement among a wider audience. Through guided tours, visitors can explore the exquisite beauty of this Art Nouveau villa while discovering Budapest’s largest private Zsolnay collection.
