렘칭겐의 신 시청은 연방도로 B10과 피니츠 강변 녹지 사이의 눈에 띄는 위치에 자리 잡고 있으며, 만남과 소통을 위한 새로운 중심지로 설계되었습니다. 주변에는 렘칭겐 문화센터와 요양원이 위치해 있으나, 각각 독립적으로 서 있는 구조로 인해 도시적인 공간적 관계가 형성되지 않았습니다.

이러한 상황을 개선하고 공공 공간의 명확한 경계를 설정하기 위해, 신 시청은 후면이 없는 다섯 변의 도시적 요소로 설계되었습니다. 새롭게 조성된 시장광장과 두 개의 도로를 향해 건축적 존재감을 드러내며, 시민을 위한 개방적인 공간으로 자리 잡았습니다. 이 건물은 독립적인 건축물로 보이지만, 주변 건물과의 공간적 관계를 고려한 형태로 설계되어 도시의 중심을 새롭게 정의하고 있습니다. 새 건물, 문화센터, 요양원을 연결하는 개방된 광장은 피니츠 강의 자연경관과 조화를 이룹니다.

도시 경관과 조화로운 디자인
시청의 위치는 도시 경관에 큰 영향을 미치므로, 건물의 높이와 크기를 결정할 때 주변 환경과의 조화를 중요한 요소로 고려했습니다. 4층으로 구성된 신 시청은 주변 건물들의 높이를 참고하여 설계되었으며, 동시에 독립적인 존재감을 드러냅니다. 단열 콘크리트로 구성된 엄격한 외관은 건물의 견고함과 장소적 정착감을 강화하며, 이 외피는 완전히 재활용 가능한 광물 기반의 벽 구조로 만들어졌습니다. 또한, 깊이 있는 창문이 규칙적으로 배치되어 시각적 다양성을 제공합니다.

기능과 개방성을 담은 내부 공간
신 시청의 다양한 용도는 외관에서도 드러납니다. 1층에는 시민 서비스 사무실과 넓은 레스토랑 공간이, 2층에는 도시적인 로지아를 포함한 결혼식장이, 3층에는 피니츠 강을 조망할 수 있는 2층 높이의 대형 회의실이 위치해 도시와의 연결성을 강조합니다.

시민을 위한 ‘개방된 공간’이라는 컨셉을 실현하기 위해, 중앙 아트리움을 중심으로 유동적인 공간 구성을 채택했습니다. 이 아트리움은 넓은 개방감을 제공하며, 시민들이 정치 활동의 기원을 가까이에서 경험하고 공공 공간의 역할을 체감할 수 있도록 설계되었습니다.

렘칭겐 신 시청은 주변 환경과의 조화를 이루면서도 독창적인 디자인을 통해 도시 경관을 풍부하게 만듭니다. 공공성과 기능성을 겸비한 이 건물은 도시와 시민을 연결하는 새로운 중심지로서의 역할을 수행하고 있습니다.

The new town hall in Remchingen, on a prominent site between federal highway B10 and the green space along the river Pfinz, is conceived as a new center for encounters and communication. Its immediate vicinity is dominated by the Remchingen Cultural Center and a nursing home, which are discrete, self-eferential freestanding buildings that do not form an urban spatial relationship to each other.

In order to sustainably improve this situation and establish clear edges to the public space, the building was designed as a honed, pentagonal urban element that has no rear sides and shows its architectural presence both to the newly designed market square and to the two street fronts. The new building self-vidently positions itself as an open house for the citizenry, responding precisely with its form to the important spatial relationships and defining a new center for Remchingen. While it clearly looks like a prestigious detached building, its form logically derives from the urban context and thus it also mediates between the existing buildings. An open plaza now joins the new building ensemble of town hall, cultural center, and retirement home to the landscape of the Pfinz.


Given the building's prominent location, its impact to the townscape when viewed from a distance was an important consideration in determining its dimensions: the height of the new four-story building takes its cue from the surrounding buildings, yet it manifests itself as a discrete object that excitingly enhances them. Its rigorous facades made of insulating concrete strengthen the feeling of solidity and anchorage to the site. Within this uniform outer shell, whose mineral-ased wall construction is fully recyclable, the large, regularly spaced windows with deep reveals are clearly distinguishable.


The diverse uses of the town hall are already apparent from the outside: the lobby with the municipal services office and the extensive restaurant area on the ground floor, the wedding hall with its urban loggia on the first floor, and the large, two-story council chamber on the second floor with views of the nearby river Pfinz all have impact on the urban surroundings. In order to bring the character of an open house to life for the citizenry, a free plan with fluid spatial boundaries was established around a central atrium. The tangible spatial openness, which is underscored by the expansive space of the atrium, is designed to offer the public the opportunity to get a closer look at the origin of political activity and to experience the building as a public place in its best sense.
