The large space in front of the building is divided into a courtyard for fire engines and an entrance square with a linden tree and a bench.Text description provided by the architects.The protection and rescue centre is situated at the entrance to the old part of the municipality ofTrzin. Its appearance is inspired by the traditional fire station typology with the characteristic tower (for hose drying), which becomes the new spatial dominant, a symbol signaling arrival in Trzin.The choice of materials adapts to the programme and is accordingly robust – aluminium windows with overhangs, hot dip galvanized railings, and an exposed concrete structure that also serves as a façade. The southern entrance façade is accentuated with color.The building combines two programmes in a single volume. The roadside section accommodates rooms for different clubs, firefighters, and a multipurpose hall. The second part is a two-level garage for fire engines.
