Fire Station Alkmaar
8, Helderseweg, Alkmaar, Netherlands
YEAR
2010
The building is characterised by a
complex structure, partly the result of the necessary close proximity
of the fireman's rooms to the depot in a volume that must conform to
stringent town planning conditions.
A design was chosen that runs from its
abutment with the council offices up towards the railway tracks, rising
to a height of about 20 metres, thereby accentuating the entrance to
the city centre. The highest point of the design is removed as far as
possible from the council offices. The council wished for a high point
marking the entrance to the city of Alkmaar.
Social safety was taken into account
when creating the design. The design contains very few recesses or
corners to avoid creating 'unsafe' places. There is parking on the
roof, out of sight of the ground floor. The visible strong slanting
line on the front and back of the building forms the access ramp for
the parking.
