"Building in existing", this art is dominated by the Stuttgart office Lederer + Ragnarsdóttir + Oei. For example, in Brackenheim, where the baroque town hall was given a modern counterpart, the highlight of which is a spacious council chamber with a white-glazed ceiling landscape. The new building, consisting of an nave and a transparent intermediate building, which leads to the baroque town hall, takes up the scale, the construction forms and materials of the surroundings - and yet it forms a new building complex, which is clearly recognizable as such, but which naturally goes without saying the city inserts. The so-called longhouse with its double-shell, slurry solid masonry offers space for the administrative offices previously scattered throughout the city. The Citizens' Office is on the ground floor and the council meeting room is on the upper floor. The latter is designed in such a way that it can be used in a multifunctional manner, i.e. not only offers the Council an adequate environment. Glazed ceiling as a light reflector The boardroom derives its special quality from its glass facade and from the exciting wooden ceiling structure that merges from the outside to the inside. Numerous large slats divide the ceiling across the room axis, the roof rises in the middle for better lighting of the room. While the posts of the glass facade remained unchanged in their wood look, the ceiling received a glazing coating in white. On the one hand, it shows its actual materiality,on the other hand, it becomes optically lighter and adapts to the white color canon of the entire interior. Maler Koos GmbH chose the medium-layer Capadur F7 alkyd resin glaze from Caparol as the coating material, which is also suitable for dimensionally stable external components. The aromatic-free glaze on the one hand protects the exterior wooden elements of the roof from the weather and gives the hall ceiling a homogeneous appearance on the inside. The decisive factor here is the problem-free flat processing ability - after all, the individual ceiling fields are several square meters in size and serve as reflectors for indirect room lighting. This required glazing and tinting as evenly as possible. White in all areas White also dominates all other areas of the building - in the stairwell, in the corridors,the office space and also in the citizens' office. The paint manufacturer Caparol supplied all wall paints, emission-minimized and solvent-free dispersion materials. What was important here was the durability and the partial ability to repair the surfaces - two requirements that run through the entire building planning and equipment. Acoustic optimization The topic of acoustics was a no less important part of the overall planning. Particular attention was paid here to the citizens' office, because discretion at the counters and counseling tables had to be guaranteed, even with a high number of visitors. Instead of choosing the conventional solution of a suspended ceiling, the planners opted for the Capacoustic Fine system, whose porous and non-combustible mineral fiber panels are glued directly to the raw ceiling."Compared to a ceiling suspended by 20 to 30 centimeters, we only have a construction height of four centimeters," explains Carsten Tümpner, who advised the planners as experts. "This in turn reduces the height of the structural ceiling and thus the structural costs." In addition, the surface of the system is extremely finely structured: the dispersion-bound plaster coating has a grain size of 0.7 millimeters. “We have achieved a very aesthetic and at the same time acoustically active surface. Another advantage is that Capacoustic Fine does not need a ceiling cavity like other systems, which involves the risk of air flow and surface dirt accumulation, and yet is more than convincing in terms of sound absorption,”says Tümpner.
