Oslo based Stein Halvorsen Architects have tried to achieve sustainability through innovation and context whilst maintaining atmosphere, through space, light and function in Bergen fire station.

The building is solid and protected towards the motorway and transparent and open towards the lake. The curved shape creates a secluded space facing the lake, forming an environment for activities as well as reflecting the dynamics of the roads. The building consists of four main elements, Base – Shield - Tower- Bridge, as reflected in expression, function, construction and use of materials.
