Asylums no longer have to be makeshift. Thanks to housing modules, it is possible to create a modern, safe and comfortable environment for people in need – quickly, efficiently and with a focus on dignity and functionality. Modular solutions not only provide a roof over your head, but also the opportunity to return to normal life.
Housing crisis calls for innovation
Social services are facing increasing demands – whether it is homelessness, domestic violence or economic problems. Shelters as a form of temporary accommodation are often overstretched, inadequate or missing where they are needed most. This is where housing modules come in as a quick and sustainable solution.
Fast construction, immediate assistance
The advantage of a modular system is extremely fast implementation. A fully functional shelter with a capacity for dozens of people can be up and running in a matter of weeks. Each module can serve as a single room, a shared bedroom or a family unit, complete with sanitary facilities, kitchen and common areas.
Dignity and safety first
Modular shelters are not just “shelters” – they are full-fledged buildings with insulation, heating, wiring and connections to water and sewerage. Of course, there is a security system, separate entrances and space for social workers or counselling services.
Flexibility that helps
Objects can be expanded, rebuilt or even moved to a new location as needed. This is essential, for example, when dealing with crisis situations (e.g. after natural disasters) or in communities with a fluctuating demand for social housing.
A company that does not turn a blind eye
Modular shelters are the answer to current social challenges. They are not just a technical solution, but also an expression of society’s attitude: that everyone has the right to a safe, dignified and stable place where they can start again.
Asylum house of 32 modules: a dignified refuge with an emphasis on safety and durability
In Přerov, a new shelter house made of 32 living containers has been built to offer accommodation for up to 30 homeless people. There is also a barrier-free room and social facilities. The facility is run by Charity Přerov. The house is designed for comfort and high resistance to vandalism.
A quick and effective solution to housing need
The asylum house, which was completed in 2025, is an example of modern social housing built on the principle of modular construction. The construction of 32 residential containers allowed for quick implementation and flexible adaptation of the internal layout to the needs of the clients and the operator – the Přerov Charity.
Capacity and equipment
The facility has a capacity of 30 people, and also includes one barrier-free room for people with reduced mobility. Each living unit is equipped with furniture, heating and storage space. Two rooms always have shared bathroom facilities.
Common areas and facilities
In addition to the accommodation units, the house offers a common kitchen, dining room, sanitary facilities, utility room and space for social workers. The operation is designed to allow for basic hygiene, cooking and a dignified daily life.
Resistance to vandalism
With regard to the demanding operating conditions and the target group, the entire building is designed with an emphasis on durability. The materials used minimise the risk of damage and facilitate maintenance.
Operation under Charity Přerov
The facility is operated by Charity Přerov, which has long been active in the field of social assistance. The new facility significantly increases its capacity and enables it to provide services to homeless people more effectively, with an emphasis on humanity, dignity and motivation to return to normal life.
An example of how lives and environments can be transformed
This implementation is an example of how modular buildings can help to respond quickly to the pressing problem of housing need. They can create a safe and stable space where people can make a fresh start. It’s not just about a roof over their heads – it’s about opportunity.
