New construction of train depot

The planned new depot building blends harmoniously into the existing agricultural plot structure and complements the Landi centre to form a characteristic typology of parallel, row-shaped industrial buildings along Bubenbergstrasse. This arrangement creates a clear urban development line and emphasises the industrial character of the area, while at the same time ensuring integration into the surrounding landscape.

A special role is played by the historic converting station, which acts as the western boundary of the newly created station square. This important structure forms the prelude to the new landscape park, which runs along the renaturalised Entenbach stream. The careful integration of the conversion station into the overall concept once again emphasises its representative character.

The roof structure of the depot is designed as a lightweight, resource-conserving supporting structure realised in a hybrid construction of steel and wood. This construction method not only enables high material efficiency, but also gives the building a modern and sustainable aesthetic.

The hall is generously lit via skylights, which capture daylight and direct it evenly downwards into the work areas via the reflective longitudinal beams. This indirect lighting ensures pleasant working conditions by creating glare-free and uniform lighting conditions. The side façades of the depot are deliberately only provided with window openings at certain points in order to allow views of the surrounding landscape as well as to offer visitors to the park exciting insights into what is happening in the depot.

The maintenance hall is air-conditioned using a combination of thermoactive building structure systems (TABS) and radiant ceiling panels. These systems ensure uniform temperature control and contribute to a pleasant indoor climate. A simulation has shown that the hall can be ventilated efficiently and naturally through the skylights, which further reduces energy requirements. The offices and social rooms, including showers, are equipped with energy-optimised ventilation systems that ensure a fresh air supply in line with demand. CO2-neutral heat is generated by a wood chip system, which ensures a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy supply.
