Fire station
Crailsheim

Project description

The WOLFF GRUPPE has been commissioned with the construction of the new fire station in Crailsheim-Westgartshausen. 

Situated at the southeastern edge of the village, the building integrates sensitively into the surrounding landscape while creating a clear civic presence.The compact timber-hybrid building combines operational, training, and community functions under one roof. A highly efficient layout ensures short response routes, while generous daylight, visual connections, and warm timber interiors create a welcoming environment for firefighters and visitors alike. Beyond its emergency services role, the fire station serves as a community hub for local events and social activities.Sustainability is embedded throughout the design. A prefabricated timber structure combined with reinforced concrete foundations minimizes environmental impact while ensuring durability and flexibility. Climate-resilient landscape design promotes biodiversity, water retention, and user comfort through native planting, shaded outdoor spaces, and permeable surfaces.The energy concept focuses on passive design, high-performance building envelopes, photovoltaic systems, and battery storage, enabling the building to achieve Efficiency House 40 standards and actively contribute to the local renewable energy supply.
