Project description
PLAN FORWARD GmbH has been commissioned with the project planning for the construction of a new service building for the Rommel barracks in Dornstadt.
PLAN FORWARD GmbH has been commissioned with the project planning for the construction of a new service building for the Rommel barracks in Dornstadt.
The new single-storey building blends naturally into the loose, partly multi-storey surrounding buildings with many green areas and outdoor space and forms the new heart of the barracks.
The building is divided into two parts: the kitchen and functional area and the public area with entrance hall, dining facilities and club room. The areas each form a side wing of the U-shaped building. The central access between them ensures that each part can be used independently and autonomously.
The orientation of the public, high areas to the south and the functional, lower areas to the north creates a clear zoning and orientation of the building. The focus here is not only on cost-effectiveness during construction, but also on optimizing the operation and maintenance of the building.
The positioning of the building ensures the use of the old service building during the construction of the new building. The demolition of this old building and the design of the new outdoor facilities will take place after the new building is completed, thus avoiding complex and expensive interim measures.
The construction is planned to be long-term and sustainable. To this end, the functional areas will be constructed in solid construction, while the public areas will be built in a lightweight and sustainable timber construction. In terms of sustainability, the sealed surfaces will be compensated for by extensive green roof areas with PV use.
Completion is planned for spring 2027.
