The Sunimplant project participated in the latest edition of the Solar Decathlon, which was held for the first time in Africa. The international competition, which takes place every two years, challenges teams including students to develop highly efficient and innovative buildings that run solely on solar energy. 

Sunimplant aims to be truly sustainable and therefore not only uses technology to address higher energy efficiency requirements and climate emergency demands, but also considers the health of habitats using remediation knowledge. 

Oceanix designs and builds floating cities for people that are in harmony with nature, so that they can provide a sustainable living space for people. The aim is to create new coastal land that adapts to sea level rise. 

XZERO is a planned sustainable community that can provide a low-carbon lifestyle for 100,000 residents in balance with nature.

At the 2019 Solar Decathlon house building global competition for university students (organised in Szentendre, Hungary), four prizes were awarded to the Hungarian Nest+ project, a model house designed by a consortium of the University of Pécs (Hungary), the University of Miskolc (Hungary) and the University of Algiers Blidai Saad Dahlad University (Algeria).

The Gothic church in Lincolnshire, in England, is used as a home by its current owners. The restoration of the Grade II listed church has been carried out with great care and attention to detail, preserving the original stained glass windows, steeple and altar. 

The large-scale real estate development project known as BudaPart is one of Budapest's largest brownfield-revitalisations in the Lágymányosi Bay area, next to River Danube.

One of the largest residential complexes in Hungary was built in the city centre of Szeged from more than 7000 prefabricated elements and a total of 8510 m3 of concrete. The project in Huszár Street includes 593 apartments, offices and shops.

The six-hectare site, replacing the industrial character of the former cable factory and wholesale food site, will provide a green environment for its future residents in the city centre. Cedar Grove takes its name from the evergreen that grows there.

In Budapest, at the intersection of Árpád út and Váci út, one of the most innovative residential parks in the city was built on an empty plot of land that has been unused for more than ten years. Historically, the area is known for its manufacturing industry, which, however, collapsed after the regime change in 1989, and the buildings previously standing here were also demolished. After that, the building complex now known as Panoráma Lakópark (Panorama Residence) was built here as a brownfield investment between 2018-2020.

Kán is a settlement formed at the junction of the Mecsek and the Zselic, in a valley running north-south. The village is surrounded on all sides by woods, and is a one-street village, making it geographically isolated from traffic. The Swabian village dates back to the 12th century, but has been depopulated several times in its history. 
After the Second World War, following the German expulsions, the inhabitants left the village and in 1978 Kán ceased to exist as an independent municipality, and a year later it was annexed to the village of Hetvehely.

The church has not been used for worship since 1991 and until 2007 it was mainly used as a showroom for antique furniture. The church was also rented out as a meeting place and used for small concerts. The mezzanine section was added in the 1990s, due to the change of functions.
