We are STUDIO IN-EX

We have vast experience Data Centre design, moreover offer integrated architecture and engineering services for industrial, logistics, office, commercial, healthcare and residential buildings.

Our story

IN-EX Studio was founded in 1997 by architect Balázs Molnár (center) and was later joined by architect Péter Krámer (left). Together, they worked on numerous architectural design and engineering projects in Hungary, Germany, and the Middle East. After 2010, with the addition of Dutch entrepreneur Marc Schlagecke, the company continued to grow. In 2018, the firm was transformed into STUDIO IN-EX Zrt. In 2023, Royal HaskoningDHV acquired a minority stake in the company.

International partners

STUDIO IN-EX is a trusted partner of international firms operating in the CEE region.
With over 7 nationalities working in our offices in Budapest, Debrecen and Amsterdam, we are never far away! For our projects outside Hungary, we work with local architectsd and other partners for localisation, permitting etc.Besides in most European countries, we havebeen working on projects in the Middle-East, South Africa, Kenya and Australia

BIM-based design

BIM is an acronym for Building Information Modeling. BIM is a worldwide method of designing and constructing buildings based on information-rich 3D models instead of 2D drawings. This will fundamentally changeS the way buildings are designed, built and facility managed. The highest possible quality and efficiency was our goal, when we started STUDIO IN-EX, so we had been one of the first firms to switch completely to BIM-based design.

Award winning office

Our team of 170 professionals work in a modern office space spanning 2,200 sqm. We believe that a quality work environment is the base of quality work and quality living. Our motto “Effective Environment for an Effective Team” inspired the design that created the space where our colleagues are happy to work every day. We designed our office with ergonomics in mind, with a focus on creating the right community spaces for our employees.

Dear Colleagues! The quality of our cooperation has improved greatly over the past few years. Thanks to accurate and up-to-date data provision and a collegial relationship, our joint work has been fruitful. The professional competence of our colleagues at IN-EX is very good. Design difficulties typically arise due to customer requirements or misunderstandings. These can be reduced by clearly communicating requirements and possibilities at the start of the design process, involving specialist designers as early as the concept development stage.

Departments

Our team of more than 170 professionals brings together all design disciplines in one office who collaborate in a closed-BIM environment, ensuring the highest quality outcomes.

Architectural

Our team of young and experienced architects designs buildings to fulfill our client’s requirements and expectations. Embracing high quality, importance of the right proportions, the beauty of uniqueness and sustainability are the values that define our design process. We continuously adapt to the evolving needs and challenges of architecture. The use of 3D models and BIM technology enables our clients to visualise, explore and analyse the building during the design process, improving collaboration and helping us to efficiently meet their expectations. We love new and exciting challenges. We hope that future generations will find satisfaction in using the results of our hard work.

Structural

In our team of structural engineers, structural plans of buildings are born in an efficient collaboration of young and experienced colleagues. Our task is to design the steel and reinforced concrete structures of buildings with cost-efficiency and client requirements in mind. The plans are made from concept to construction details in close collaboration with all design disciplines using a closed, coordinated BIM system. Our goal is the planning of buildings with outstanding quality, the supervision of planning from concept to construction plans and construction support.

Mechanical

Our team consists of young and well trained professionals who are dedicated to the BIM-based design of building systems. We aim for the visualization of information required for elements of building systems in a single BIM model, management of data handover to each discipline and stakeholder and the integration of schematic diagrams with detailed flooplans. We design systems with our client’s requirements in sight and we flexibly adapt to all necessary design changes. Beyond traditional MEP systems (heating, cooling, HVAC, plumbing and drainage, gas supply), we are also familiar with more advanced technologies, such as compressed air, process gas and steam supply systems. Our goal is to make a virtual BIM model that is suitable for construction as well, so we can support our contractor partners with the necessary software and technical information.

Low Voltage

Our Low Voltage design team is made up of experienced electrical engineers with a wealth of knowledge and experience. We design low- and medium-voltage systems for buildings in a flexible, cost-effective, and forward-looking way, in line with industry and international standards. We engage in the design process in all areas of design, whether it is high-performance power transmission, serving technology in industrial environments or lighting design for decorative spaces in office buildings. Energy-efficient and cost-effective design in line with current trends is very important to us, and we are happy to apply LEED, BREEM and WELL design guidelines to our projects on request.

Extra Low Voltage

Our team consists of electrical engineers and safety engineers specialised in BIM-based design of low-voltage systems in buildings. Our services include the design of fire alarm, access control, camera systems and structured cabling, but we have also designed parking occupancy alarm systems, (emergency) public address systems and gas alarm systems. We use BIM technology to create detailed, coordinated 3D models that allow us to optimise the design process and prevent problems during construction.

Automation

Our services include the automation of building management systems (BMS), including HVAC systems, and the design of other intelligent building functions. We work closely with the building services, electrical and low-voltage disciplines to ensure that automation solutions are harmoniously integrated into the overall building. We adapt flexibly to design changes and strive to create intelligent systems that deliver efficiency, sustainability and user comfort.

Fire protection

Our fire protection department is made up of dynamic, hard-working, professionally trained young people ENGINERRS who, in addition to designing the fire protection of buildings, also carry out heat and smoke extraction simulation and design built-in fire extinguishing systems. Our aim, in addition to supporting our architectural studios in fire safety, is to create models that enable our building services and electrical departments to recognise the fire safety requirements of buildings in their own BIM models during the desigr process, so that they can accurately identify that apply to them and adapt to them immediately. When designing and modelling built-in fire extinguishing systems.

BIM solution

We have established a dedicated team from the most seasoned BIM and Software Development experts of Studio IN-EX, who are responsible for the efficiency of internal BIM processes and offering our partners the best BIM capabilities. We are constantly experimenting with the latest technologies, so we can provide the highest possible quality services. Our BIM expertise is based on long years of hard work, which is highly respected internationally today. We make the projects more efficient, precise, faster, transparent and innovative. Nothing is impossible for us, you can turn to us with any innovative idea and we can turn it into the reality.

Projectmanagement

One of the strengths of IN-EX is that our design projects not only involve our highly professional engineers, but we also have a dedicated team that provides back-up support for the management of the projects. Our PM team is responsible for keeping projects on track and monitoring them. This specialized team, which is not common in design offices, can help our engineers to concentrate more on designing buildings more effectively and to have well-planned and monitored projects at the same time.
