New Fire Station Seeks Strong and Modern Aesthetic
Set in an industrial section of town, the design team working on the new Hendersonville Fire Station #2 in Hendersonville, N.C., was seeking a strong and modern look. Accent panels from Citadel Architectural Products provided the durability and aesthetics they were looking for.
“The fire department and city were looking for a more contemporary and industrial looking design, since Fire Station No. 2 was going into an industrial area of Hendersonville,” says Keith Carlyon, senior principal at ADW Architects in Charlotte, N.C. “We selected elements of metal siding, metal panels, metal roofing, rubbed concrete and glass to give the station an industrial aesthetic. The sloping roofs and dormers take their shape from the sloping mountains in the area. Other elements of glass and brick in larger sizes were used to create a more contemporary feel.”
