fire station in Rechberghausen. The timeless and functional design still impresses today.
In the competition for the construction of the new fire station, the Stuttgart office of Reichl, Sassenscheidt und Partner was awarded the contract. As the runner-up, we took over the part of the construction of the functional building positioned in a charming location on the Marbach more than 20 years ago.
The fire station stands at the intersection of many path relationships. The topography results in a plane pushed into the slope, which accommodates the vehicle hall. The vehicle hall is generously glazed to the south and north. All load-bearing wall and ceiling components were constructed in cast-in-place concrete. A pitched roof was built over the training area.
The roof structures of the two building elements consist of glue laminates spanned underneath and are designed as a flat roof above the hall. Attached to the right and left of the vehicle hall are equipment lockers, sanitary areas, storage and the operations center. A gallery level at the rear of the vehicle hall connects the training area with storage and building services areas. The exterior appearance is characterized by solid-colored fiber cement panels in combination with metal and glass.
The open spaces are an essential part of the overall complex. Simple, hard-wearing materials such as concrete paving and asphalt were used for the traffic areas. The required four parking spaces are designed with water-permeable lawn stones.
