Overview
Fire Station 2 is a new 12,000 sf Fire Station built by the City of Newport Beach. The 0.4 acre site is located on the Balboa Peninsula in a mixed-use area of the City.
Features
The Station is designed to accommodate 10 fire fighters in an individual dormitory setting. Other station features include a 3-bay, double-deep apparatus room, administrative offices, kitchen, dining room, day room, physical training room, and the various support spaces required for a facility of this type. Secured fire fighter parking is included on site. The project also includes a small, stand-alone restroom building dedicated for public use.
Design
Designed with a definitive coastal appearance, the station’s architecture celebrates Newport Beach’s Cape Cod aesthetic. Materials include simulated wood siding, asphalt shingles, and a variety of trellis and railing elements. A lighthouse element incorporated at the building entry completes the overall design.
