What TIBA Építész Stúdio does

TIBA Építész Stúdió is a Budapest-based architectural firm founded in 2005 by János Tiba, providing comprehensive architectural design, interior design, project management, and engineering coordination services for commercial (office), residential, hospitality, heritage reconstruction, and public-sector clients. The firm employs approximately 20 professionals — including architects, project architects, BIM managers, and managing partners — and operates primarily through invited architectural competitions and direct commissions from a roster of prominent domestic and international developers and corporate clients. Core technology is BIM (Building Information Modeling) using Revit at LOD 300, with demonstrated expertise in BREEAM-certified sustainable design across six buildings.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services, with fees negotiated per project on multi-year contracts covering concept design, building permit documentation, and construction supervision. Major clients include Wing Zrt. (Telekom & T-Systems Headquarters, Liget Center), Atenor (Váci Greens office campus), White Star Real Estate (Eötvös12 Villapark), GREE Electrical Appliances, and the Hungarian government (Buda Castle heritage reconstruction). The studio also operates a secondary revenue stream through the KAZA-TIBA concrete tile collection, a proprietary industrial design licensed to KAZA Concrete and distributed globally (USA, Norway, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary).

Since founder János Tiba's death in 2016, the studio has been led by Managing Partners Viktória Ladányi and Zoltán Király, who have preserved the founder's design philosophy and continued building the firm's portfolio. The studio is privately held, headquartered in Budapest's Buda hills (since 2019), and has accumulated a significant award portfolio across FIABCI, BIGSEE, ALUTA, and Hungarian national competitions. Geographic reach is primarily Hungary with selected international projects in Cyprus, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
