Nestled among the hills of Buda and embraced by forests, lies the estate of a renowned international producer; the interior of the new home was designed by este’r partners. The masculine villa with minimalist spaces is a real smart-home: it epitomizes the most modern design in a contemporary setting, its clean interiors and design solutions are centered around recharging and relaxation.

“We designed a reduced, black and white world for our client, a successful producer. It turned out at our first meetings that he is a passionate art collector, so this became the focal point of the interior design. From the very first moment, this project was a joy to work on, our client’s Anglo-Saxon elegance has set the direction for the project and his exquisite taste have been well reflected in the unified interior” – says Eszter Radnóczy interior designer, founder of este’r partners.

In Budapest’s new villa district, the architectural concept follows the terraced landscape, a sleek pool, sun loungers and a barbecue area can be found horizontally, the lower level of the house has a living room, kitchen and a community area while the upper level includes the bedrooms. A gorgeous black spiral staircase twists through the floors ending in a lookout point and a stunning roof terrace, these are the highest points of the house.

Sunny, bright spaces abound in the entire villa, the furniture oozes elegance with its classic black and white monochrome interior coupled with premium, light color scheme. Several state-of-the-art features were incorporated in the matt-glass front kitchen. The bed and the sofa are custom-made by the Italian Living Divani while the upholstery and the textiles were designed by este’r partners’ team selecting from the finest quality assortment of JAB Textil, Flukso and Radici. Most elements of this smart home are high-tech: curtains, fireplaces, blinds are electric, the kitchen includes smart solutions, and projectors ensure the highest quality movie experience.

Artworks, photographs and film documents – evoking the world of cinema – are dominant elements of the house, all enhancing the unique interior with cool details and a touch of humor.

Designed by este’r partnerts, the elegance and simplicity of this luxurious estate is everything a home was meant to be: refreshing, cozy, inspiring and relaxing.

Este’r partners has designed a fresh interior concept for one of Lake Balaton’s most popular, family-friendly hotel complexes. The hotel welcomes guests this summer season with a renewed lobby and common areas, but the development continues, focusing on the rest of the building.

The hotel complex is directly connected to Lake Balaton and the Balatonkenese harbor so the designers decided to enhance the closeness to nature in the organic interiors of the newly renovated building. Upon arrival at the four-star Hotel Marina Port, the interior of the lobby and the bar are characterized by the use of natural materials: oak and earth tones create a cozy and aesthetic milieu.

Not only earth tones, but also soft yellows, pristine whites and a touch of brighter elements feature the tone-in-tone color scheme. The wall cladding of the restaurant takes us to the reeds, while the rounded, soft shapes recall the pebbles of Lake Balaton. The key concept is to harmoniously blend the existing building elements with the new, and to elevate the space with affordable elegance and comfort.

“The hotel in Balatonkenese has been renovated with light, harmonious spaces; we fell in love with the client’s vision and designed a modest and close-to-nature interior. Our primary focus was to enhance the sense of arrival so now the spaces of Marina Port invite everyone including couples, families, business travelers as well as sailors to unwind.” says interior designer Eszter Radnóczy, founder of este’r partners.

The common areas, the bar and the restaurant were partially reconstructed and renovated, now the development will move on to the other units of the hotel with a similar concept focusing on elegance and friendly atmosphere.

Zazie Bistro&Bar, the new restaurant of the MOL Campus, was realized based on the interior design concept of este’r partners. Operating as a café in the morning, a bistro during the day and a casual bar in the evening, at Zazie you can experience a real sense of flow: nature shines through not only on the large glass surfaces but also in the interior, you can relax in small bays in the cozy lounge area and have lunch or dinner in cool restaurant booths.

The interior design team has focused on the Danube experience, as they explained there are very few restaurants in Budapest where you can sit near the river during a long lunch or a night out. The MOL Campus also has a unique feature: while the modern high-rise building designed by Foster+Partners of London has a contemporary style, it overlooks the former factory buildings of the Buda Danube district, continuing the bay of Lágymányos. Modern glass surfaces, stunning views and an old industrial quarter in the distance are coupled with beautiful natural features: pampas grasses dancing in the wind, a green riverbank and sunshine.

The idea behind the design was to blend the urban, modern features of the building and its surroundings with nature to create an intimate, inviting, light interior where visitors can take a break from workdays and relax.

“When designing the restaurant’s interior, we were inspired by paddling on the Danube: the river flowing beneath you at a calming slowness as you enter the reeds and discover new, small worlds everywhere. We wanted to capture this experience through the design: a space that gives you a sense of calm, comfort, yet it is vibrant, no matter what time of day you arrive,” says Eszter Radnóczy, interior designer and lead designer.

When you enter, you can literally hug a tree in the café area: whether you’re working on your laptop or just in for a work meeting, coffee and pastries enhance the experience. You can enjoy a unique lounge area in the restaurant’s bay: comfy sofas, wicker lamps, natural colors and materials.

A very special openwork material, a burnt hollow decorative brick from Mutina factory, covers the entire interior wall of the restaurant, which runs parallel to the outer glass shell and separates the kitchen area from the dining area. Above the large, flowing, curved wall, textiles are floating on the ceiling.

The concept of the flooring also evokes the paddling experience, where a reddish circular mosaic of many small circles flows into a large-scale terrazzo flooring and leads the guests all the way to the back corner. This flow is framed by a uniquely patterned colorful carpet evoking the bubbling Danube, designed by este’r partners and created by the Italian factory Radici. The tropical floor tiles, symbolizing washed wood and recalling the bay of Lágymányos, blend into this solid yet multi-colored mix of materials.

Each table in the restaurant has been designed to offer a different experience, with the option of curved booths or arbor seatings. And the area dedicated to exclusive events is in an elevated unit: a fresh design and a space for private conversations, with the same panoramic view.

In the restaurant area, the eye is drawn to the custom-designed upholstery, created by este’r partners with their own pattern designed on the Italian textile brand, Flukso’s materials. The dynamic pattern is balanced by pinkish-peach tones, with the columns covered in a soft cushion-like covering at the bottom.

At Zazie, the design experience flows, rocking us on the waves of the river, it feels good to arrive.
