Similarly to the church described above, the Market Hall features a roof wrapped in glazed tiles by the Zsolnay factory in Pécs. The colourful pyrogranite ceramic ornaments gracing the facade were also made there. In 1897 Pecz designed the so-called Gólyavár (literally meaning 'Storks' Castle', in a more abstract sense having the additional meaning 'Freshmen's Castle') which was meant to function as a temporary auditorium until the completion of the new technical university building, but has existed and preserved its original function ever since as a low-budget lecture hall on the Campus (actually, the yard) of the old Technical University with a seating capacity of 600 students. Much like a castle, this turreted building has an irregular octagonal floor-plan with structural solutions that were considered technical bravura back in those days. Pecz covered the auditorium with steel lattice struts and wooden beams. In order to strut the walls, he designed stair turrets at one end of the lattice struts, chimneys at the other, and buttresses in the remaining corners. In the 1890s Pecz designed tenement houses as well. One of the two tenement houses commissioned by the Wirnhardt family at No. 62-66 József Boulevard, Budapest was built in Gothic style with a carved stone facade, whilst the other in Florentine Renaissance manner with a rough-rendered facade. The three-storey tenement house owned by Armin Pecz (District Vili, Kálvária Square No. 8) was also built after his designs with a facade similarto that of the Market Hall (Fővám Square). In 1898-1899 Samu Pecz was awarded the first prize for his designs of the Museum of Fine Arts, but the building was finally built after designs second to his by Albert Schickedanz. In 1900 a state-run major grammar-school in Beregszász (today: Beperoße, Ukraine), in 1902 a minor modern school in Ungvár [today: Yxropon, Ukraine) was built after designs by Pecz. He was commissioned with the project of the Naval Academy in Fiume (today: Rijeka, Croatia) after winning the design contest in 1901. Construction was completed in 1902 there. However, Pecz designed this building with an archaic and Italian Renaissance-style facade instead of a medieval one. FASORI EVANGÉLIKUS GIMNÁZIUM ES TEMPLOM, VII.
