Caserma dei vigili del fuoco sostenibile, Kressbronn
Design competition for a sustainable new fire station serving Kressbronn’s expanding Bachtobel district, in Germany, with improved operational capacity.
The Municipality of Kressbronn am Bodensee has launched an anonymous single-stage architectural design competition for a new fire station within the emerging Bachtobel urban expansion area in southern Germany. Conceived as an interdisciplinary realisation competition under RPW 2013 regulations, the project seeks a high-quality, sustainable and economically efficient civic building that responds sensitively to both its operational requirements and its evolving residential context. The new facility will replace the municipality’s undersized existing fire station, providing approximately 2,650m² of accommodation including 12 appliance bays, improved operational infrastructure, staff facilities and vehicle capacity for the volunteer fire brigade. Positioned along the north-west edge of the district’s public-use development zone, the scheme must carefully integrate architecture, landscape and infrastructure while minimising conflicts with adjacent housing and community uses. Teams led by architects in collaboration with landscape architects and structural engineers are invited to propose a robust and future-oriented public building capable of supporting the long-term resilience and identity of Kressbronn’s civic infrastructure.
