*바위산 끝자락에 위치한 동굴 소방서 [ Bergmeister Wolf Architekten ] Fire Magreid

바위속 자치소방서는 와인거리에 위치하며 주변의 컨텍스트를 따라갑니다.

-동굴 속 와인창고가 외부조건에 영향없이 일정한 습도와 온도를 유지하는 컨셉을 따라갑니다.-

블랙컬러의 콘크리트 월은 3개의 동굴을 엮는 소방서의 얼굴이자 낙하하는 돌로 부터

소방서를 보호하는 역활을 수행합니다. 이것은 지형이 가지고 있는 토폴로지와 기능의

쓰임새에 따른 요구사항을 맞추어 섬세하게 조정된 디자인입니다.

여기에 이 콘크리트 월에 나 있는 3개의 동굴은

소방서 내부공간을 구획하는 공간으로 각기다른 외부의 3개 지점에서 시작하여

내부에 교차하는 공간을 형성되며, 2개의 차고와 1개의 관리사무실 영역으로 구분됩니다.

2개의 차고 상부에는 독을 보호하는 블랙스틸 캔틸레버가 설치된 반면,

관리사무실은 외부로 들어난 글래스 박스로 구성하여 외부의 태양빛을

내부로 유입시키는 건축적 형태를 띄고 있습니다.

이와같은 동굴로 구축된 소방서는 앞서 이야기한 것처럼 내부온도와

습도를 일정하게 유지시키는 장점으로 유지비용이 적게 드는 장점을 갖고 있습니다.

이렇게 바위산 끝자락에 위치한 자치소방서는 주변 컨텍스트를 조용히 따라가며

인근주변을 지원하는 배후시설로 자리 잡습니다.

In the Rock
Fire Brigade Margreid
A rock face is the location of the new volunteer fire brigade of margreid on the wine street. Three big caverns are drilled into the rock and interlinked with a cross cut. A black pigmented concrete wall stands in front of the rock, with the same inclination as the mountain. The three caverns dock on to this concrete wall.

Architects: Bergmeister Wolf Architekten
Location: Johann Steck Strasse 34, 39040 Margreid, Italy
Contractor: Gemeinde Margreid an der Weinstraße
Completion: 2010
Gross Floor Space: 690 sqm

The wall is the main architectural element of the fire brigade and at the same time a protection against down falling stones. Therefore resulted a sensitive handling with the topography and the requirements of use. we chose concrete as the material for the wall: durable, strong and powerful; the dark colour is achieved by the application of beech coal dust and should bear resemblance to burned wood.

Three corpuses penetrate this wall. two garages break through forming portals which are covered with black coated steel. These garages are closed with glass folding gates which allows the red fire engines to be seen from the outside. In the area of the office and administration wing the wall is breaked through by a cantilevered pending glass cube which gives free sight in all directions and brings light into the inside.

The interior of the caverns is characterized by simple materials: wood, glass and steel are used subtly and contrast the cavern with its harsh plastered surface. In terms of sustainability the fire brigade differentiates itself in two points from other projects: the positioning of the building and the overall energy concept. The building could have been placed on a normal lot as most of the houses, but because of the rare grounds in the alpine context the community decided to build the fire station into the rock. Therefore valuable ground has been saved and can be used for agriculture.

This means an active contribution to save resources. in order to reduce running costs and contribute to environment protection the community of margreid wanted to build an energy efficient building. This also encouraged to the decision to place the building into the rock where only the glass entrances face the outside (-10°c in winter). The rest of the building lays inside the rock (+12°c in winter).

As a result heating costs were reduced and therefore energy is saved. In addition, a dynamic simulation of the heat flow allowed to select the parts of rock which had to be insulated. Consequently only the administration of the station had to be covered with thermal insulation while the garages could be heated with the natural temperature of the surrounding rock. The remaining glass surfaces are carried out in triple heat absorbing glass. The residual energy for heating and hot water is covered with an ecological pellets heater system.
