We won the Lovable Workplace 2021 award
Studio IN-EX General Design has entered the 2021 Lovable Workplace competition and to our great delight, the labour market voted that our office is indeed a “workplace to love”. For the fifth time now, the competition A Workplace to Love was held, where the companies that are the best to work for were awarded. This year, 1600 workplaces competed, regardless of company size, and the competition was entered not only by Hungarian and Transylvanian but also by Romanian companies. This year’s awards were again decided by employees and jobseekers, altogether more than 68,000 votes were cast. Voters can also indicate which company they would like to work for, which is another indicator for popularity and likeability: nearly 40,000 users would like to work for one of the 1,600 companies that entered, and a total of 11,500 of them want to work for those 200 companies that actually won the awards.
And why are we such a workplace to love?
- Mainly because of our team, as we do like working together. 🙂 As a welcoming community, it’s easy for new colleagues to settle in.
- We work in a great working environment, and our favourite place to relax is the communal lounge, where we have a ping-pong table, a foosball table, darts, and a pool table.
- We can have a weekly massage in the office, and can exercise our tired muscles in our sports room, either in a group class or individually.
- We organise joint skiing trips, holidays, and sports programmes, and we have been running the Spar marathon in Budapest together with a team for years. 🙂 🙂
- We have lunch together every Friday, and even vegetarians can’t complain.
- At our regular monthly review meetings, we share our challenges and successes, and at our special Friday Morning Coffees you can ask any question – and even get an answer. 🙂 🙂
- We also learn from each other at the IN-EX Architects’ Club, but we also take part in continuous trainings, because lifelong learning is rejuvenating.

From idea to impact
At IN-EX, we believe that our greatest asset is the knowledge, experience and curiosity of our people. The Innovation Hub was created to ensure that our engineers’ ideas do not remain isolated suggestions: we give them space, develop them together, and take initiatives that create real value all the way through to implementation.
Structural Challenges of an Automated Warehouse System and a BIM-Based Solution
Our project serves as a good example of how adapting existing industrial buildings to modern technologies can present a complex engineering challenge. The implementation of the automated high-bay warehouse system involved not only a technological conversionbut also the adaptation of an existing reinforced concrete hall structure to new operational, structural, and fire safety requirements.
New Technology, Existing Structure: A Steel Structural Solution for the Conversion of an Automated High-Bay Warehouse
During the interior conversion of a high-bay warehouse attached to a manufacturing plant, it became necessary to install a state-of-the-art automated storage system. In the first phase of the project, we were commissioned to assess, at the conceptual design stage, whether the existing structural framework was suitable for accommodating the new technological system and to determine what structural modifications would be required to implement the conversion.
One Office, One Model: The Benefits of 3D Design and Multidisciplinary Collaboration
STUDIO IN-EX is a multidisciplinary design studio where almost every design discipline is represented under one roof. Every day, our colleagues experience the benefits of having designers from different disciplines work side by side, within a shared closed BIM environment and in the same office. What are these benefits in practice? We spoke to Lilla Vámos, one of our low-voltage systems designers, about her experience.
Case Study: Saving on Investment Costs Through Smart Warehouse Design
We believe that the investment cost of a project can be influenced to a significant extent during the design phase. For this reason, our approach goes beyond simply meeting the applicable requirements. We also investigate alternative technical solutions that can provide the same level of technical performance and safety while resulting in lower investment costs.
Model Checking Is Not About Finding Errors
In model-based design, a BIM model is no longer just a 3D representation. A well-structured model contains geometry, information, and discipline-specific relationships in a single source of truth. It drives drawings, quantity take-offs, schedules, equipment lists, technical data deliverables, and serves as the common platform for multidisciplinary coordination.
