In the Spring of 2006, the Ferenc Puskás Football Academy contacted Imre Makovecz, asking for his help with the conversion of the Kozma mansion, a building on the Academy’s premises, into a student hostel. The late master’s design envisaged the removal of the U-shaped building’s roof, the installation of a new, raised roof that would also cover the inner courtyard and enable the doubling of rooms, the creation of an elegant indoor community space with a loft. He also prepared a development drawing, as the conversion into a student hostel was only a short-term project but the need for additional buildings was already taking shape.
