Precisely planned, sustainably built, and sensitively integrated into the outskirts of town.
On the northern outskirts of Nöttingen, a new fire station is being built that combines functional requirements, urban integration, and sustainable construction into a cohesive architectural design.
Project data
The new building responds sensitively to its surroundings and serves as a striking focal point at the edge of the neighborhood. The L-shaped structure provides a clear point of reference along Karlsbader Straße while also shielding the residential buildings to the south from the fire department’s operational emissions.
At the heart of the facility is the emergency response yard, from which emergency vehicles can depart directly without having to navigate any intersections. All noise-intensive operations are deliberately concentrated in the center of the site, thereby minimizing the impact on the neighborhood as much as possible. The outdoor areas are clearly organized and provide ample space for training, drills, and operations.
The internal layout is designed to align seamlessly with operational procedures. Short distances, clear functional relationships, and an intuitive layout ensure efficient fire department operations. The vehicle bay, workshop, and changing rooms are located on the ground floor, while training, administrative, and break areas are housed on the upper floor.
The building also sets new standards in terms of environmental sustainability. Green roofs, solar power systems with battery storage, and sustainable rainwater management all contribute to resource-efficient operations. Permeable paving and extensive green spaces help integrate the site into its natural surroundings.
The result is a state-of-the-art fire station that combines functionality, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability in a clear architectural style.
