Architect. He began his career working for Ignác Alpárand Ödön Lechner. Between 1897 and 1934 he
joined up with another architect, Zoltán Bálint, and the two of them ran their own architects’ office.
Their joint early works displayed the stylistic marks of Late Historicist Eclecticism - the main gate of
the Millennium Exhibition (1895) and the Hungarian pavilion at the Paris International Exhibition of
1900 which was awarded a Grand Prix. His later works were greatly influenced by international Art
Nouveau, the achievements of which he was able to combine in his own distinctive manner. In
Budapest his outstanding creations are the palace of the State Audit Office (1910-14), the Léderer
Palace (1905- 07), the Barack Palace (1899), Miklós Ligeti’s art studio building, György Zala’s art
studio villa (1899), and, in Nagybánya (today: Baia Mare, western region in Rumania) the theatre and
hotel (1906).
