A new mesh metal facade system is providing thermal comfort and aesthetic enhancements to the popular Puskás Arena[2]—a soccer stadium in the XIV District of Budapest, Hungary.

Designed by Közti Architects & Engineers, a Hungarian firm founded in 1949, this high-traffic venue hosts international tournaments, concerts, regular tours, and more. The stadium has more than 67,000 seats.

The structure’s architectural metal mesh facade system is designed to enhance both performance and visual identity. The system, manufactured by Codina Architectural, was developed to provide natural ventilation while reducing solar exposure, contributing to improved thermal comfort within the structure. Its open structure allows airflow while maintaining a consistent external appearance across the stadium envelope.

The selected mesh type offers a balanced combination of transparency, durability, and structural resistance, making it suitable for large-scale exterior applications exposed to varying weather conditions. Additionally, the mesh’s flexibility enabled it to adapt to the facade’s complex geometry, ensuring seamless integration with the architectural design.

This type of solution is increasingly used in large-scale infrastructure projects, where combining durability, functionality, and aesthetics is essential.
