Linnanmaan Fire Station | Oulu, Finland

The central fire station is one of the most modern in Finland. For the façades, through-coloured, durable, and user-friendly Swisspearl facade panels were used. The predominantly white façade is enlivened in places with earthy accent colours. For the main fire station in Linnanmaa, it was important for the architect to design a building that is efficient and supports emergency operations as effectively as possible, while also taking ecological aspects and the urban landscape into account. The goal of the project was to make both the construction and use of the building as energy-efficient and low-carbon as possible. With the rhythmic variation in the colours of the accent elements, the architect aimed to convey a smaller scale and an earthy, grainfield-like atmosphere, helping the large building blend harmoniously into its surroundings.

Please note that this Reference project features Patina products. However, since the colour range for Patina NXT is the same, this reference also provides a general impression of the look and feel of a Patina NXT project.
