Fire And Police Station, Berlin - Sauerburch Hutton Architects

This is a building that I cant wait to revisit. I was fortunate enough to get a tour of this governmental police and fire station in Berlin in 2008 by an architect from Sauerbruch and Hutton and when I go back to Berlin this year there is talk of having another quick tour.

The project is a renovation and extension of a former goods yard building. The extension the the 19th century building houses the majority of accommodation, with the existing building used as the entrance and some office space. The colour scheme is a representation of the colours of the Berlin police and fire departments, running from tones of green to red.
