The Secessionist architect Ede Magyar, known as the “Hungarian Gaudí”, designed this whimsical palace for the chief water engineer Iván Reök in 1907.
The theme is water, which is appropriate for the fluid lines of the Art Nouveau style, and is manifested in the pastel blue water lilies adorning the facade, waveform wall surfaces and wrought-iron balcony rails resembling plants swirling in water.
