Design Concept: Quality of LifeImagine how a person can be on hold itself in readiness for action. Fire fighters are one of those people who acquit themselves of their duty for 24 hours. It may affect their work in terms of safety when they are on mission and it would affect their mental and physical health even worse. Not only they are fighting against the fire, but they also fight against themselves to carry out their duty to the fullest. The environment would be the most important to keep them mentally and physically healthy to serve the best with safety. PROPOSED FLOOR PLANS.GROUND FLOOR - KITCHEN & DAY ROOM: Extended the space for day room and the kitchen. This space is completely separated from other rooms with different purposes in order to provide a space where they would feel as if they are in their own house. Enclosed Day room will keep their health by blocking any contaminated air generated from red zones. - PATIO: Enlarged patio and now located at the southern part of the building connected with the kitchen. The wall of the kitchen blocks pedestrians's sight keeping the fire fighters' privacy. - INDIVIDUAL DORM ROOM: Created individual dorm rooms to respect privacy of the occupants in the fire station. Not only just separated dorms for the occupants to accommodate, but also to provide comfort and conveniences of their life. Individuals won't be bothered by any of distractions while sleeping when they used to have a room with 6 bedrooms such as snoring and noises from other people. purified air by ventilation and windows will help them to have better sleeps. More importantly, there is a emergency bell in each room for them to be able to get ready for an emergency call. - WORK-OUT ROOM: The work-out room is now located in the centre of the building with curtain walls on 4 sides. The purpose of this location is to make the fire fighters to frequently work out to their health. This also generates active environment around the building with a rec room right beside it. SECOND FLOOR - COMPUTER ROOM: Computer room is proposed in order to provide the individuals to search for what they need. This space would be a relaxing area for the individuals. - CLASS ROOMS: Class rooms are proposed on second floor both for the fire fighters to have training and for students to have knowledge of what fire fighters do. The main purpose of having class rooms is to let students from schools to tour around the fire station and provide many opportunities for them to learn about fire station. - BALCONY: A balcony is created above the dorm rooms and on the second floor. It makes the building more like an usual house for the fire fighters to relax and rest well. PROPOSED ELEVATIONS.BUILDING SECTION.3D RENDERS.3D WALL SECTION

AuthorHello there! My name is Sungmin Lee, currently enrolled in 3rd year of Architectural Technology at Sheridan College. I love designing a building or house by challenging myself to think and decide which concept would fit into the building. When It comes to thinking about the concept and purpose of a building, it is the most entertaining part of all. In the future, I wish to design my own house with an unique concept that has never been done before without compromising a human comfort and function of a house. Thank you!
