Konala Rescue Station
The architecture of the 2-storey fire station was designed to integrate into the surrounding industrial area. The massing is simple, accentuated by the high eaves that hide the technical installations on the roof, the cantilevering canopies and the balcony with its V-shaped steel pillars. The use of strong colours defines the structure and gives the building a recognizable character.
The station will include fire suppression resources, a tank unit and an ambulance station. On the side of the street is a vehicle yard, which also houses an annex with fueling stations, a waste room and bicycle parking facilities. The ground floor of the building houses the equipment and washing halls, the operational staff and technical facilities, as well as the fire inspectors’ offices and a public lecture hall. On the second floor are the accommodation facilities for the operational staff, the kitchen and dining areas, lounges, a gym and a sauna. The accommodation facilities and the kitchen with a dining area open onto a generous balcony.
