NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

Modernization and energy rehabilitation of the Head of Fire Detachment 2 in Timișoara. The building features a partially accessible basement from the outside. On the ground floor there are the garage, locker rooms and three new volumes: a garage, a guard area and a second-floor storage unit. Access and user-oriented spaces face north. The first floor is dedicated exclusively to fire personnel, housing dormitories and offices, while the second floor is only partially in use, located near the access staircase. 

The ground floor is clad in exposed brick, while the upper floors feature decorative stonework around the windows. Some of the façade’s joinery has been replaced with elements that no longer match the original wooden frames. The entrance structure shows advanced damage due to water infiltration, including crumbling plaster. The base of the building is visibly discolored and the drainage system is non-compliant, leading to façade deterioration caused by water infiltration.

Urban regeneration of the Cathedral Square in the city of Arad. The project focuses on the architectural and landscape redevelopment of Cathedral Square, aiming to highlight the historical character and local significance of the area. Key objectives include creating a suitable landscape setting for Saint John the Baptist Cathedral Square, developing a pedestrian route connecting Mețianu Street to Ion Rusu Șirianu Street and the complete rehabilitation of both pedestrian and vehicular pathways surrounding the block.  

The initiative enhanced access to nearby historical and cultural landmarks, such as the Romanian-Hungarian Reconciliation Park. The project aims to refocus attention on public spaces by providing facilities for all age groups, expanding green areas and unlocking the commercial potential of ground-floor spaces. All of these goals are integrated into the comprehensive development plan for Cathedral Square.

Specialized training facility for emergency response personnel from Romania and the Republic of Serbia. The project involves the construction of an administrative building as part of the investment initiative “A more secure cross-border area by enhancing the emergency response capability.” The building will have a ground floor and one upper floor, with a built area of 304,40 sqm and a total floor area of 591 sqm. It will feature a load-bearing masonry structure, reinforced concrete floors and monolithic foundations.  

The roof will be a wooden truss system covered with tiles and the façades will be finished in white plaster with red accents. Additionally, an access control and service building will be constructed, with a ground floor and built area of 402 sqm. This secondary building will have a reinforced concrete frame with non-load-bearing masonry and will share the same roofing and exterior finishes as the main building.
