on Tour

Das Bezauer Sicherheitszentrum in direkter Nähe zu Gemeindeamt und Bezirksgericht vereint Feuerwehr, Bergrettung, Polizei und Wasserrettung in einem Gebäude. Der zum Dorfzentrum orientierte Vorplatz mit freistehendem Schlauchturm wird zu Übungszwecken, aber auch für Veranstaltungen und Feste genutzt.

Das Pfarrhaus ist Teil der umfassenden ortsräumlichen Erneuerung Krumbachs und vereint verschiedene öffentliche Funktionen unter einem Dach: Pfarrsaal, Bücherei, Musikräume. Errichtet in Passivhausstandard, gebaut aus gemeindeeigenem Holz, konsequenter Einsatz ökologisch und baubiologisch unbedenklicher Materialien.

Ein bescheidener Zweckbau in Holzschalung mit entscheidendem Mehrwert für den Ortsteil Thal: Die Fahrzeughalle öffnet sich über die komplett verglaste Fassade zum Gasthaus Krone und schafft damit einen eigenständigen Platz im Dorfgefüge.

The Moorrom hovers over the area on six steel pillars. The building that is reduced to the essentials does not even have electricity, provides shelter, the opportunity to rest but also a location for lectures.

The lofty tower with a steel staircase contrasts the compact low-rise building. The development areas are minimised by an ingenious arrangement of the various functional areas. It took some effort to adapt the in-situ concrete structure to passive energy standards.

Red fair-faced concrete and galvanized steel profiles give the fire station a rather robust than bulky appearance. The hose tower at the front is easily visible from the distance, and the other part of the building is organized by function: the ground floor is the operation area while the offices and the training area are located on the first floor.

The fire station right in the centre of Weiler combines features of the landmark "Ritterhaus” and a barn. Harmonious integration into the village center was achieved by careful restoration and an exciting juxtaposition of old and new.

The compact design of the fire and mountain rescue station is made almost entirely of spruce. Only the garage area had to be integrated into the building as a concrete box due to fire-protection and functional requirements.

Despite of the hose tower, the vehicle depot and command center on the ground floor, the building is not only used "monoculturally”. The cantilevered top floor made of wood accommodates the training rooms and the crew area of the mountain rescue team, which can be accessed via a separate staircase.

Eine Aussichtsplattform und der flussquerende Wehrsteg überlagern das eigentliche Wasserkraftwerk. In den "Landschaftspark" ist nicht nur die Fischtreppe integriert, sondern auch eine Steg-Anbindung an die bestehende, zuvor unterbrochene Uferpromenade. Hellgrün leuchtende Glasfaser-Lichtleiter, eine Installation von Peter Sandbichler, zeichnen die konstruktive Logik der Architektur nach.

Despite of the same concept, the valley and the mountain station evoke different experiences. The all-over glazed steel halls and an art-in-building project that plays with color and sunshine characterize the Kriegerhornbahn.

The fire station in Hohenems presents itself as a visual oasis of calm. The tower is a striking landmark for urban building development. At the side a staircase provides external access to the training and office area on the first floor.

The block-like fire station with the hose tower gets three-dimensional depth by the slant of the deep gates. A light ditch provides the crew’s quarters with natural light. The angular arrangement of the parking spaces in the garage allows easy entry and exit.

The wise use of the topography of the exposed building site and the clear functional organization of the two-storey building into a massive base and a cantilevered lightweight construction on top of it contribute to a large extent to the integration into the spatial structure of the village.

The Firehouse Dornbirn is a clearly structured building; its typical parts are at right angles to each other and thus create a kind of courtyard made of steel, glass and aluminum in the predominant colors red and dark grey.
