Qiaotou Fire Station is the first fire station complex with dormitories in Shenzhen, which is a high-density city with massive requirements for fire services. In such a context, the integration of "fire station and dormitory" provides a solution to enhance fire emergency response efficiency.
The project is a grade-1 fire station situated at the intersection of Yongfu Road and Liyuan Road, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, with the planning Bin'e Mountain Park on the south side, a planning grade-2 gas station on the east side, and an underground river on the northwest side. The site is relatively square, with a plot area of 4,518.26 square meters. The fire station has a gross floor area of 8,796.3m², including 5,997.3 square meters above ground and 2,799 square meters under the ground. The project has a plot ratio of 1.32. The master plan adopts an H-shaped layout that a six-storey dormitory building connects with a four-storey office building through a mezzanine corridor. A seven-storey training tower is set at the fire station as well.
