Special K is an abandoned power plant control room in Hungary. Built in the 1920s, it was a pioneering example of Art Deco industrial architecture and featured a dramatic oval-shaped room lit by a large skylight. The plant originally ran on coal but was converted to natural gas in the 1970s. Much of the original control equipment remains intact on the green metal wall panels. A concrete bunker housed an air raid shelter during World War 2, underscoring the control room’s role in a critical infrastructure at a turbulent time.
This is such a cool place. I went to a concert here years ago, it has surprisingly good acoustics too!
