Modular bistro in the shape of a boat on the Baťa Canal was supplied by KOMA MODULAR

Story and Architecture

The Baťa Canal and the port in Veselí nad Moravou, known for its beauty and historical significance, has gained a new shine thanks to the Bistro Dog in Dock. This project, created from modules with exposed container architecture, demonstrates how modern design can be integrated into the surrounding environment. The bistro, composed of prefabricated modules, offers an extraordinary experience during the visit.

Bistro Dog in Dock was realized in just two months and consists of nineteen modules. These modules form a two-story structure with access to the roof, which provides beautiful views of the Baťa Canal. The creation of this architectural gem was made possible through cooperation with KOMA Modular, known for its innovative solutions in modular construction.

Design and Sustainability

The interior of the bistro is thoughtful and practical, with large windows that offer stunning views of the canal and bring plenty of natural light into the space. Sustainability plays a key role throughout the project — from prefabricated modules that reduce construction waste to energy-efficient systems and the use of eco-friendly materials.
In the bistro, you will find not only an excellent kitchen inspired by travels but also a self-service wine machine that offers a wide selection of domestic and foreign wines. This innovation contributes to a unique experience for visitors.

Bistro Dog in Dock quickly became a favorite spot not only for locals but also for tourists. It is a space where people meet, share experiences, and enjoy cultural and social events. The strategic location on the Baťa Canal also supports local tourism and offers visitors a place to relax and unwind.

The 52 km long Baťa Canal was originally built between 1934 and 1938 and served for the transportation of lignite. After World War II and the subsequent decline in industrial transport, the canal became a popular destination for recreational boating and cycling. Today, the canal is not only a technical monument but also an attractive tourist destination that entices visitors with boating, fishing, and walking opportunities.

Bistro Dog in Dock is an example of how modular construction can bring innovation and sustainability to architecture without losing its human dimension. This project by KOMA Modular shows that architecture can be not only functional and aesthetic but also socially beneficial.
