Description
The house is considered one of the prime examples of modern architecture in Hungary. The Fischer and Pécsi couple contributed their shared experience. Fischer, the composed of the building masses and Pécsi dealed with reinforced concrete. The villa presents the windows of the staircase and some smaller windows on the street side. The garden side is more spacious with larger windows and on the first floor with the large terrace and pergola. As this side faces south-west, it is suitable due to the position of the sun.
Inside the house, the floors follow the former functional areas: the caretaker's flat with kitchen and garage on the ground floor. On the first floor were all the official rooms such as the dining room, living room and music room. The second floor housed the bedrooms and bathroom. The roof terrace can be reached via the spiral staircase. This leads through the entire house and was once the staff staircase. Independently of this, the second large staircases in the house were used exclusively by the family.

History
According to the Hungarian way of giving the surname first and then the first name, the name Walter Rózsi results. Together with her husband Géza Radó, she commissioned the married couple József Fischer and Eszter Pécsi to build the villa. The construction took only six months. The family was then able to move in with their daughter Marika and the staff. In pre-war architectural history, it was rare for both the client and the architect to be women.
After nationalisation, they had to move out in 1949. The surrounding sanatoriums were also nationalised. The villa was incorporated into the hospital (hospital of the Ministry of Interior) and served as a nursery school and a paediatrician's office until 2009. Although all the items inside were missing, the rough structure was largely preserved.
Since 2022 the villa is home of the Hungarian Museum of Architecture and Monument Protection Documentation Center (Magyar Épitészet Múzeum és Műemlékvédelmi Dokumentációs Központ). It is opended to the public.
