About The Big Roof ایستگاه آتش‌نشانی

سقف بزرگ یک ایستگاه آتش‌نشانی در کیلونگ، تایوان است؛ شهری کوهستانی و پرباران. طراحی از سبک خانه‌های کوهستانی محلی الهام گرفته است، به‌طوری‌که این بنا هم به‌عنوان یک نشانه شهری خوانده می‌شود و هم با زمین اطراف خود همخوانی دارد. سقفی شیب‌دار و بزرگ، لایه‌ای تازه بر سطح کوه شکل می‌دهد. بالکن‌ها و بازشوها فضاهایی سرپوشیده میان منظره طبیعی و بنا ایجاد می‌کنند. این فضاها عمق بصری می‌افزایند، نور مستقیم آفتاب در تابستان را کاهش می‌دهند و امکان تهویه طبیعی را فراهم می‌سازند. مسیری چشم‌نواز در کنار ایستگاه آتش‌نشانی به سوی پارک و منظره اطراف امتداد می‌یابد.

Unique Properties: Fire station is a landmark and yet still blending into the environment. The project is located at Keelung, Taiwan, a mountainous and rainy city. It is crucial to design the interface of the urban context and the building which connects visual guidance and natural shades for rain or sun. People can take the scenic path right by the fire station to access the park, the east bridge, the natural landscape. It is a statement of the fire station being part of local residents' lives.
Dimensions & Packaging: Floors: 4F / Site Area: 1780 m2 / Floor Print Area: 780 m2 / Total Floor Area: 2045 m2 / Height: 14.45 m / Construction Fee: 3,000,000 euro

Production Technology: Because of the local humid weather and limited budget, the fire station itself is expected to be easy to construct and maintain. The excavation strategy for mountain soil is very economy efficient, and use raw concrete formboard and self-compacting concrete for main structure and exterior walls. Earthquakes occur frequently in Taiwan, so we avoid to use stone panel or tiles, to prevent its damaging caused by earthquakes. Mineral painting on the big slope roof top also helps as the waterproofed layer.
Design Challenge: The most difficult challenge of this project is the local mountain terrain and the project is located on a 45degree slope terrain. We need to think about how to construct at a steep terrain and also how to pour concrete when the local weather is often humid all year long. Therefore, during the design process, architects highly participate at the pre-construction meetings and also discuss with contractors about construction methods that helps to complete the project under limited budget.
Research: For architectures like police and fire stations, are usually designed as a majestic building in image or form wise in Asian societies. Taiwan government also tries to re-connect people and public institutions to improve public services. So during design process, architects try to design these public institutions based on regionalism and avoid the majestic image. So the design concept is to adapt “mountain house” style at this area and into our main building elements to the landscape and climate.
Inspiration: The concept is to adapt an indigenous building style “mountain house” in Taiwan, which have taken into the main building elements to the landscape and climate. The big sloping roof is a new layer of the mountain skin. The balconies and openings form unique space in-between the landscape and building and also create additional depth in in the summer to avoid sunlight but still allows natural ventilation, it also allow people doing multiple activities doing in and out the new mountain skin.
Project Duration: The project started in March 2017, and finished in March, 2021, located in Keelung city, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: At Asia cities that are similar to Taiwan’s, firefighters usually need to cover double amount of citizen’s safety than western countries. So when designing a fire station, architects not only need to design an efficient office, but also a good living residence. Because we believe with good living spaces, it can benefit both life and work quality. For this project, various balconies and openings allow great views from indoor to outdoor which offer great work and live spaces for firefighters.
