Extension of the holiday house of Lipót Leitersdorfer Junior
Description
The first commissions Béla Lajta got from the Leitersdorfer family were for smaller jobs like conversions and extensions. In 1901–1902 he converted a simple one-floor house with a wooden veranda standing in a big garden into a holiday house for his elder brother in Völgy Street, Hűvösvölgy. The core of the extension was a large guest room, whose terrace gave a beautiful panorama of the surrounding mountains. According to Béla Málnai, Lajta’s younger colleague in the given period of time, the plans for the holiday house were developed in cooperation with Ödön Lechner.
