Project Description
Presence, readiness, and protection: these are linchpins in the fire fighter’s credo. They also make for great fire station architecture. A facility with an assertive bearing, a dynamic readiness, and a community sensitivity is a facility based on public safety principles.
The new Cherryland Fire Station design embraces this public safety ethos. Strong colors and glowing transparency define this as a robust and accessible community centerpiece. An animated building massing evokes dynamic readiness. A fire-engine red canopy protects generous front and rear porches and all shared staff spaces. The innovative building program expands the facility mission: a core-and-shell space for a future integrated fire station health clinic will—when completed—supplement out-going emergency services with on-site preventative community medicine. A mosaic glass tile mural collages familiar Cherryland landmarks with the fire station’s history, acknowledging links between the fire department and the community it serves. This is public safety architecture as a strong and accessible civic actor.
