Army Music Corps, Ulm (DE)
New building, Timber construction

Wooden music rehearsal house

The new Army Music Corps building in the Wilhelmsburg barracks is a clearly structured, two-storey timber construction that blends harmoniously into the extensive green spaces and sports facilities. The glazed foyer divides the building visually and functionally into two parts: To the north is the large, two-storey rehearsal room, around which the over-height register rehearsal rooms are grouped; the southern part houses the small rehearsal room with adjoining offices, storage and sanitary facilities as well as individual rehearsal rooms on the upper floor.

The covered entrance area on the south side is set back in a funnel shape, accentuated by a glass façade. The sustainable timber construction sits on a solid base storey. The vertically structured façade is clad in natural, local timber. In the window area, a translucent louvre structure provides glare-free, natural lighting.
