A new fire station for Buxton, located on a steeply sloping site on the outskirts of the town, providing an 8-bay appliance hall with all ancillary support accommodation, including extensive on-site training facilities, an area office and a suite of rooms for community use, together with new bases for local cave and mountain rescue teams.
The contemporary design of the building combines modern cladding materials with local natural limestone and incorporates extensive photovoltaic and solar arrays and rainwater harvesting to achieve a BREAM rating of Very Good.
“We’re really pleased with the result on this project – it’s sympathetic with its surroundings whilst providing everything the team there need. And to have the project achieve a ‘Very Good’ BREAM rating is the icing on the cake.”
David Gardner, Director at Morrison Design
