JÓZSEF ŐRFI
Architect
A student of Imre Makovecz, Architect Blogger, Theologist, Flooring Man.
He studied architecture and theology in Vienna and Budapest.
Initially, he gained his experience in the world of architecture through planning and actually building small sacred spaces and his own family house.

He regards each of his architectural projects as a unique and personal commitment of his. His buildings are inseparable from the persons who have invoked them and the characteristics of the environment they are embedded in.

And just as a byproduct of his laborious journey, he came up with ingenious solutions that grab the essence of building contemporary.
