Having an office lets us design even more offices

about
Nanavízió is a Budapest based design and construction firm that was founded in 2010, today consisting of 12 team members. Artistic conceptualization and precise engineering bear equal importance in their work methods. In their portfolio you can find small public buildings, family homes, apartment renovations, professional office spaces as well as bold, eye-catching public installations and artistic yet functional furniture and accessories.
The founders, Nóra Pajer and Noémi Soltész met during their studies in Denmark. Their acquaintance quickly turned into a friendship and then into a professional partnership. Before founding Nanavízió, Nóra worked at a construction company for several years, and Noémi worked for an architectural design firm in Budapest. They both gained valuable experience during these years, and perfectionism became their habit. They soon realized that their diverse professional background is a useful asset in their architectural and interior design projects.
It’s not very common for a design firm to take part in the construction of their designs. Nanavízió is here to fill that market niche: their multi-talented team creates high quality exciting, modern spaces. Thanks to their selected team of solution-oriented professionals they are able to explore new directions and try new methods in architectural and interior design. That results in a colorful, unique portfolio where you can find their easily recognizable trademarks as well as their highly customized designs. Their trademarks make it easy to spot whenever Nanavízió had something to do with the design of a certain space or object.
