HOUTEN FIRE STATION - NETHERLANDS |
Monday, 11 September 2006 |

We never thought we'd see the day when a fire station was celebrated for its superior architecture and design. Well, folks, here is it believe it or not. It's in Houten in the Netherlands and was designed by local firm Samyn & Partners. There is a two-way split of the interior, and the south side is built mostly of gleaming glass, which makes it feel like a glamorous boutique. It's the perfect combination of high aesthetic and utility. by Lisa Evans
