Rescue Center

Construction of a Rescue Center and functional housing for the Paris Fire Brigade and their families.

The functional program includes two entities with distinct roles: the rescue center
and the associated housing. Our project proposes a unique, homogeneous, and compact building that meets all the constraints of the program and the site.

The new rescue center, located along Avenue Georges Pompidou, is distinguished
by its taller buildings that mark the corners of the plot. This particular configuration provides visual and acoustic protection to the housing in the ecodistrict to the north,
as well as to the homes of the firefighters’ families. The training yard, arranged below
the slope of the plot, reinforces this protective effect towards the residential areas.

The building rises over two basement levels and six superstructure levels. The northwest part is dedicated to housing, while the southeast part houses the rescue center, equipped with a duty office, sleeping areas, and a dining area with a communal kitchen.

Environmental intentions

The rescue center is an ambitious project in terms of environmental quality. The housing for the BSPP officers is constructed with a wooden structure (post and beam and CLT floors), with wooden frame facades insulated with bio-sourced straw bales. This project represents a technical challenge requiring a technical experimentation assessment (Atex).

The building complies with the NF Habitat HQE standards for housing and the HQE Sustainable Building standards for the rescue center.
The envelope is designed to minimize thermal losses through over-insulation, triple glazing, and individualized air handling units (AHUs)
for the housing.

The volumes that make up the entire project flow harmoniously, forming a distinct architectural
and environmental unity.

Energy recovery from greywater is also planned.
Additionally, the project includes rainwater harvesting to supply the sanitary facilities and clean the rescue vehicles.

The roof of the housing units is equipped with a photovoltaic plant that will produce part of the energy self-consumed by the project.

The project, reflecting a sustainable approach, achieves the C1 carbon level
of the E+C- experiment.
