Kozma was commissioned to design the house in 1936. The client was Lajos Magyar, who lived in Újlipótváros and was the owner of an industrial leather goods company. He had purchased a plot on Rózsadomb (Budapest’s Buda side) very cheaply, and wanted a two-family house built as a permanent residence for himself and his wife, as well as his daughter and her family.
The sketches kept at the Museum of Applied Arts still show windows on both storeys of the north-western semi-rotunda, but they are absent from the design that came to be realized.
