Roofscapes and access ramps fold to mimic the gesture of the flanking mountain range, accommodate the strict ceiling height requirements, and offer south-facing terrace spaces for public gatherings. The functional strength of these proposals lies in this vertical separation of the public/leisure spaces on the first floor and the fire station program at ground level.
