Civil Protection Centre Eyrs/Oris

A green monolith of insulating concrete: The Civil Protection Centre in Eyrs/Oris, in Laas/ Lasa, translates the operational routines of the volunteer fire brigade into a monolithic sculpture. The transition from the single-storey vehicle bay to the two storey crew facilities gives rise to the building’s distinctive sloping roof and prominent hose tower. The spaces are organised across three levels, from the vehicle bay and changing facilities on the ground floor, through the kitchen and training room on the upper floor, to the technical infrastructure and storage areas in the basement. Green-pigmented insulating concrete combines structural performance with thermal insulation while offering durability, non-combustibility and full recyclability. The monochromatic colour palette, which extends throughout the interior, gives the building a strong identity – at times a sculptural landmark, at others seamlessly merging with the surrounding landscape, yet always ready.
