A fire station with a public hall on the ground floor, completed in 2019.
The brief
The fire service needed a new station for six engines on a tight corner site in Rotterdam Noord.
The design
The engines leave from the side street, so the main street could keep a public front. Behind the large window is a hall that the neighbourhood can book for meetings and first aid courses. The crew quarters are on the floors above.
The result
The hall is booked most evenings. Turnout times are 40 seconds faster than at the old station.
