House of culture Kals

After the teardown of two existing buildings, the new culture house was built on a cramped building site on the Kalser Landesstraße. The construction is made of 50er vertically perforated bricks with lime-cement interior plaster and a smooth two-layer plaster surface on the outside, whose color scheme is oriented to the neighbors.

The deep reveals created by the 50s bricks reinforce the massive character of the building. The event hall was designed for 270 visitors.
