City of Portland Fire Station 28

Limited by a site area of less than 8,500 square feet, our building addition was carefully sited to provide direct access to Sandy Boulevard and resolve a significant elevation difference across the site. The new wing contains the main apparatus bay on the first level with a kitchen, dining room, day room and South facing terrace on the second. The historic building was reconfigured to house the watch room, exercise room, an auxiliary apparatus bay on the first floor and crew quarters on the second.

The new structure is connected to the historic building by a multi-story transparent circulation knuckle containing stairs and the fire pole. This area is visible from the street through a full-height glass curtain wall system, offering the public glimpses of the firefighters as they spring into action.
