PARC DE BOMBERS MONTBLANC

CENTRAL HALL FIRE STATION, MONTBLANC 2005

Arriola and Fiol arquitectes as Architects

The project is organized around a central hall where the fire trucks are parked.

The rest of the program, that is, the sitting and dining room, kitchen and bedrooms in the second floor, are complementary to this main working room.

This concept is carried out to the spatial volume of the fire station, where the roof of this central room is extended to the whole building and to its façades.

Caption

 

The four doors for the cars, as big squared mouths opening at different directions, reinforce the movement of the building.

Caption

 

The alignments of the building and its three dimensional volume refer to the dented line of the Montsant hills in the background.

From the beginning the building itself was understood more as a topographic accident in the landscape than a small nave in an industrial zone.
