The Fire Department Tübingen-Lustnau exemplifies sustainable architecture, focusing on design and functionality. The building uses regionally sourced, FSC-certified timber, emphasizing a user-friendly layout with short, clear paths and a dual-access vehicle hall supported by wooden beams. The design philosophy 'form follows function' is evident in its practical yet elegant structure, which addresses common concerns with timber construction such as fire safety and structural integrity. This approach has earned the project multiple design awards and European Union funding.
