Richter Musikowski's Fire Station in Radebeul Features Greenhouse-Inspired Glass Roof
Richter Musikowski, located in Berlin, has finalized a volunteer fire station at Schildenstraße 19 in Radebeul, Germany. This L-shaped structure boasts a multi-gabled roof and translucent profiled glass, drawing inspiration from nearby greenhouses and gabled homes. The design is closed off to the north while opening up to a sheltered courtyard on the south side, featuring an apparatus bay that faces the street. Constructed with precast concrete and a lightweight steel roof, the facade consists of a rear-ventilated curtain wall made of translucent glass set against a light blue-stucco background. The two-story building includes common areas situated above the apparatus bay for optimal emergency response, and it features twenty-six photovoltaic modules along with an air-source heat pump, with completion set for 2026.
