Shaping the Future of Architecture in Central Europe

Paulinyi & Partners , one of Hungary and Central Europe’s most innovative architecture firms, is at the forefront of sustainable, human-centric design. Combining cutting-edge technology, a deep commitment to sustainability, and a collaborative approach, the firm has redefined the architectural landscape of the region with iconic projects that balance environmental responsibility and modern functionality.

As finalists in the 2024 European PropTech Association Startup & Scale-Up Awards, represented by Managing partner, Digital Twin Development Lead Miklós Balaskó , Paulinyi & Partners continues to push boundaries in creating future-ready spaces.

Driving Innovation with Technology

At the core of Paulinyi & Partners’ work is their mastery of modern technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Design Process (IDP). BIM provides a unified database that enables efficient, collaborative design, construction, and operation. This multidimensional approach ensures cost optimization, reduced construction times, and increased predictability in project outcomes.

Meanwhile, their IDP methodology integrates every stakeholder—architects, engineers, and investors—into the design process from the outset. This approach maximizes efficiency, encourages creative problem-solving, and ensures that projects meet the highest environmental and functional standards.

Their work also embraces digital twin technology and generative algorithms, allowing for simulations, energy efficiency analyses, and business intelligence solutions. These tools empower clients to track project progress and evaluate solutions with data-driven precision.

Redefining Sustainability in Architecture

Paulinyi & Partners go beyond meeting existing sustainability standards—they actively shape the future of green building. The firm is a pioneer in Hungary, offering clients certifications such as WELL, LEED, and BREEAM, which evaluate the environmental and human-centric aspects of their designs.

From energy optimization to reducing operational costs, sustainability is at the core of their projects. For example, their Hungarian Museum of Science, Technology, and Transport project aims for a BREEAM Excellent certification, showcasing their dedication to green principles while creating visually striking spaces.

Creating Iconic, Community-Centric Projects

Paulinyi & Partners’ portfolio includes a variety of landmark projects that emphasize functionality, sustainability, and integration with the surrounding environment.
