Established in 2002, MINUSPLUS is a Budapest-based architecture and design company of 20 like-minded professionals. One of the most forward-thinking design firms in Hungary. The team has made an impact with several flagship projects like the HQ of Prezi.com, Teslavarázsló service station, the interiors of the recently opened MOL tower, and the office of design tech company Shapr3D. The company was involved in the development of the vision and identity manual for the long-term architectural strategy of the University of Pécs Medical School. MINUSPLUS was founded and has been led by three university friends, Dr. Zsolt Alexa, Donát Rabb and Dr. Ákos Schreck. They are always searching for something new and extraordinary, whether it is public buildings, offices, interiors or unique designs. In recent years, their architecture has been completed with a wide range of interior elements and furniture, designed and soon to be manufactured in-house, supporting the individual needs of the modern life.

Leitbild

We are Minusplus
Minusplus is an independent, 20 person architecture and design studio based in Budapest. We provide sustainable and innovative design solutions. We are sentient human beings, we love harmony and beauty. The most important thing for us is to create beautiful and harmonious design. Our interest is faithfully reflected in the diversity of our works. We enjoy what we do, and this is clearly visible in our buildings as well. Our plans are surrounded by continuous professional interest, our buildings are regularly published and rewarded with prizes.
 
We create inspirational Speces
The main ambition of our team is to design buildings that encourage their activity. We explore new contexts and re-interpret the relationship of spaces and their habitants. We believe this makes the world around us a better place.
 
We are curious
Our method is discovery: we create the setpoints of the plan from the analysis and interpretation of the given situation. We dare to ask and search for new solutions, for this we systematically research architecture and develop our own capabilities. We are convinced that the question is the most important driving force that starts a change.
 
We Cooperate
Our working method is receptive, therefore our architectural responses are various and colourful. We believe that harmonizing different approaches will advance our world and build our environment.
 
We make in happen
We stand with two feet on the ground: our ideas are innovators, but we always work out ways to make them feasible.
