Administrative and operational building of the Moravian River Basin Authority

Administrative and operational building of the Moravian River Basin Authority
The building is located in the Olomouc district of Nové sady in the area where the Morava River leaves the urban structure of the city, following the official building of the Morava River regulation manager from 1930. The house is oriented along the longitudinal axis (approximately in the north-south direction) along the flow of the river, situated about 14 m from its bank and built approximately 2.5 m above its level. The floor plan is formed as a circular segment with a radius of 208.8 m. The total length of the main two-storey building is 102.2 m, with a width of 8.3 m and a height of nearly 8.5 m. Structurally, it consists of a single span with a centre-to-centre distance of longitudinal load-bearing walls of 7.2 m and a module rhythm of 23 cross modules of 4.2 m each. A ground-level transverse wing of 26 m in length (7 modules of 3.6 m) and a width of 16.8 m (4 x 4.2 m) is added to modules 16-19 perpendicular to the façade.
In the main building, the ground floor contains a meeting room, dining room, preparation area, laboratories, and storage rooms. The upper floor has offices, inspection rooms, and facilities for drivers and manual workers. A longitudinal corridor with 2 staircases is placed on the ground floor towards the river, as the high sills of the corridor windows create a flood barrier. On the upper floor, the layout is reversed so that the offices overlook the river. In the transverse wing, there are garages, workshops, and a boiler room. The vertical load-bearing structure of the main building consists of a sandwich construction made of brick blocks with a thickness of 45 cm and a façade of facing bricks with a thickness of 15 cm (or black granite with a thickness of approximately 50 - 30 cm). The inner perimeter wall is made of solid bricks (due to static reasons because of large windows on the ground floor) and a sandwich with a ventilated air gap. The external lamellar aluminum blinds have a rolling mechanism hidden behind concrete window lintels and are blue, similar to the glazed walls of the garage's transverse wing. It is made of prefabricated skeletal construction with a concrete panel façade horizontally divided by joints or seams every 60 cm. The stone western façade, which is inclined from the vertical by 3°, will be overgrown with three-lobed dog
