Touax wins the Gold Medal for Design at the International Building Fair in the Czech Republic

The International Building Fair, the biggest construction industry trade fair in the Czech Republic, was held in Brno from 24 to 28 April 2013. During the fair, the organizers awarded prizes to the best exhibitors: the 2013 IBF Gold Medals.

Touax, a major player in the modular buildings industry in Europe, won the gold medal in the Design category, with a fully-equipped modular office that can be assembled anywhere in less than one hour thanks to effective modular building techniques.

Taking part for the first time, Touax achieved success, winning the gold medal in the Design category. The jury liked the original design of the office which has a surface area of 18m².

The model exposed, installed in less than one hour, has an aesthetically pleasing and functional interior. The façade combines several different materials in a highly attractive and modern design.

"We are very pleased to have been awarded the gold medal for the Design category. Modular buildings are still too often associated with simple prefabricated or construction site buildings. Yet we are able to produce buildings that are visually very aesthetically pleasing. The speed of construction, wide product range, low cost and attractive design make our modular buildings an ideal solution for companies that plan to build new offices. It is an investment approach that offers value for money", explains Raphaël WALEWSKI, Managing Partner of TOUAX.
