Pyrmont Fire Station
In 2013, Fire and Rescue NSW commissioned Group GSA to refurbish and extend the operational Fire Station and derelict upper floors to improve conditions for the fire fighters and to provide office accommodation for Fire and Rescue NSW staff as part of their relocation program from their current head office in Elizabeth Street, Sydney.
Inspired by design methodologies adopted a century ago - innovation, decoration and social creation.
A new extension was also added to the building over the three floors. This addition is inspired by design methodologies adopted a century ago - innovation, decoration and social creation. The choice of interfacing materials between the heritage building and the extension produces a strong connection between the old and new. The materials complement each other and flow between internal and external spaces in an asymmetrical fashion much like the building before it.
