Training tower for the Fire Station

The proposal features a training tower that seamlessly integrates into its surroundings thanks to its lightweight materials and permeable volume. The project is based on the superimposition of three staircase types and two self-supporting skins that create interconnected, naturally lit pathways, forming a central and a perimeter space linked together.

The tower is constructed with a ceramic lattice that filters light, provides transparency, and ensures durability under heavy use. At night, its interior lighting transforms it into a visual landmark.

The prefabricated modules allow for functional flexibility, future adaptability, and rapid construction with minimal disruption to the Fire Station.
