2007 Award Recipients
 
Honor Award for “On-the-Boards” Fire Station Projects
Atkinson/Dyer/Watson Architects
Charlotte, NC
Charlotte FD Station No. 39
Charlotte, NC
Jury comment: “…a responsive design proposal for an ‘infill station’ to be constructed in an established neighborhood. The design, which references a 1920’s Charlotte station that was also inserted into a neighborhood, was instrumental in overcoming neighborhood objections to the station’s proposed location.”

 

Honor Award for Constructed Fire Station Projects
Johnston Davidson Architecture and Planning
Vancouver, BC Canada

 
Hamilton Fire Hall
Richmond, BC Canada

 

Jury comment: "...a very unique, yet attractive fire station, good use of contrasting materials. Efficient and well planned building layout, includes roof training and large training tower. Self sustainable and environmentally friendly."
 
Merit Award for Fire Related Facilities Projects
Merriman-Schmitt Architects
Charlotte, NC

 

American LaFrance Fire Apparatus Corporate Office and New Apparatus Delivery Inspection Station
Summerville, SC


 
Jury comment: “…a nice salute to the firefighting profession and celebration of the company’s 175 year heritage and lineage. Visitors enter on a symbolic “hose tower” and on entering are immediately aware of the historic display. First class “station” facilities are provided for final apparatus inspection before delivery.”
Merit Award The Fireman's Home
Bergmann Associates
 
The Fireman's Home Hudson, NY
 


 

 
Jury Comment: "A noteworthy first-phase of an ambitious reinventing and rebuilding of a most unusual fire service facility."

 

Merit Award for “On-the-Boards” Fire Station Projects
RSCT Architecture + Design
Clemson, SC
Pendleton Fire/EMS/Police Station
Pendleton, SC

 
Jury comment: “…what sets this project apart is the site studies that the designers did to show the clients how to effectively increase the buildable ‘footprint’ available and thereby realize a larger, more useful building program.”
Merit Award for Constructed Fire Stations Projects
LEA Architects
Phoenix, AZ

 
Peoria Fire Department
Jomax Station 7
Peoria, AZ

 


 
Jury comment: “…an interesting transformation of the ‘3-box’ floor plan by the use of roof form, material selections, material assembly and color. The station’s interior volume is much bigger that the scale of the exterior would lead you to believe.”
Merit Award for Constructed Fire Station Projects
DAG Architects
Destin, FL

 

Watercolor Fire House
South Walton Fire
Seagrove, Florida

 

Jury comment: “…a colorful adaptation of a ‘coastal vernacular’ to the fire station for this award winning planning community.”
 
Merit Award for Constructed Fire Stations Projects
LEA Architects
Phoenix, AZ
San Luis Obispo County
Fire Station 21
San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport
San Luis Obispo, CA
Jury comment: “…an appropriately industrial strength aesthetic for an airport crash-rescue facility. The designers made the most of materials selected by the cleaver use of construction details. Even the communication antennas are not an afterthought. They are used to add additional careful detail to the building.”
 

Recognition Award for On-the-Board Fire Stations Projects

Stewart-Cooper-Newell
Gastonia, NC

Bluffton Township Fire Protection District Station 37
Bluffton, SC

Jury comment: “…the design thoughtfully continues the architecture theme of the community and will contribute to the architectural language of the ‘low county’ community vernacular.”
 
Recognition Award for Constructed Fire Stations Projects
YAS Architecture
Chicago, IL
Evanston Fire Department Station 3
Evanston, IL
Jury comment: “…a very modern design language, yet it clearly ‘reads’ as a fire station.  A very good use of a constricted site and proof-positive that stations with proper exhaust extraction can have routine apparatus checks performed in the bay negating the need for a large exterior apron. The validity of the design will be proven in time by how well the extensive window treatment is maintained.”
 
Recognition Award for Constructed Fire Stations Projects
Garner and Brown Architects
Charlotte, NC
Hemby Bridge Fire Station 23
Hemby Bridge Volunteer Fire Department, Inc.
Union County, NC
Jury comment: “...a very well done fire station with careful attention to the relationship of one line to another in the exterior elevation. A very large station volume scaled down in size by the use of materials and sitting. The dedicated ‘wash stall’ on one end of the station is most unusual, but it make sense.”
 
Recognition Award for Constructed Fire Stations Projects
Cole + Russell Architects
Cincinnati, OH and
Motly Architecture and Design
Montrose, CO
Montrose Fire District Station 2
Montrose, CO

 
Jury comment: “...a very cost effective, yet creative use of the basic metal building…a design that is durable and appropriate for the site location.”
Recognition Award for On-the-Board Fire Stations Projects
Atkinson/Dyer/Watson Architects
Charlotte, NC
Waynesville FD Station No. 1
Waynesville, NC
Jury comment: “…Exhibits an effective use of a constricted site. Floor plan has good ‘flow’ to the apparatus floor while maintaining opportunities for expansion. The exterior presents a recognizable public entry and an appropriate ‘mountain esthetic.’”
 
Recognition Award for “On-the-Boards” Fire Stations Projects
Perlman Architects of AZ
Scottsdale, AZ
Yuma Fire Station No. 1
Yuma, AZ
Jury comment: “One of several ‘themes’ proposed, the jury finds the adaptation of the ‘territorial style’ vernacular to the exterior skin of the proposed fire station to have the most promise.”
