The architectural practice of Zoltán Bálint - Lajos Jámbor (Frommer)

Art Nouveau on Paper

Between 1897 and 1934 Lajos Jámbor (Frommer) 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.

In Budapest their 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).
