KOMA is building a house of culture with large-format modules transported in a readymade state.

We use the flat-pack system, in which the transport of the modules is in compiled form, relatively often abroad, but not in the Czech Republic. The house of culture in Rybník, with an area of 324 square metres, is an exception, because it consists of 10 large-format Comfort modules, whereas in the spaces containing the hall (consisting of 6 modules) the lights must be at the height of 4.3 metres.
Obviously, such large modules cannot be transported as a whole, which is why the flat-pack system is the ideal solution. One „package“ consisted of the floor, another the ceilings and columns, but everything is assembled on the spot. Four modules with a light height of 2.8 metres and produced by standard means were used for the facilities of this cultural house, which includes a kitchen, WC, and a club room.
The walls throughout the house are painted in various colours, and we placed modern large-format tiles in the sanitary facilities. The flooring in the hall is made of wooden particleboard, and for the bathrooms and kitchen we chose large-format tiles, and floating flooring in the club room.
At last we can say that modular construction is gradually becoming a relevant alternative to conventional construction in the Czech Republic. The house of culture will be ceremonially opened on 29 November 2013, attended by Governor Martin Netolický. The event will feature dulcimer music and dancing, which we helped arrange. The next day a market of handmade work will take place in the house of culture. The representatives of Rybník already have a full calendar of social events planned. We are glad that our buildings contribute to improving cultural life in the community, and that this construction demonstrates that buildings of more than three metres light height can be constructed.
