51 &52BUILDING CONCEPTS
Fire Station 5l islocated onSouthcenterParkway atSouth 18OthStreet. The
neighboring buildings in the Southcenter commercial area include big box
stores, chain restaurants, and amovie theater, which do not encourage frequent
pedestrian activity. Station Sl will therefore be viewed primarily from cars
driving by or stopping at the adjacent traffic signal, which inspired the bold
patterning of the glazing "slots"along the facade and the oversized signage.
Five Station 52 is located onthe City Hall campus and /s otherwise bordered by
low-rise, residential properties. The site will be experienced by visitors driving
to the station, people walking upthe sidewalk from Southcenter8lvd and 65th
Avenue, neighborhood dog'vvalkers,and employees from City Hall and other
local offices crossing through the site on lunch breaks.

Fire Stations 5l and 52were conceived of
asa"farnily"ofbuildings that would be
recognizable within the community. They
have been designed toestablish astrong civic
presence intheir respective neighborhoods
and represent asense ofpermanence, safety,
and reliability, by means of their architectural
language and materials.
Both stations will have primarily brick exteriors
with some areas of aluminum panel rainscoeen
and glazing. The dark brick at Station 51 is
meant tostand out incommercial SouthcenteC
while the red -purple brick at Station 52
has been chosen to suit its residential
surroundings. Iconic "fire station red" doors
surrounded by clear glazing will afford views
into the apparatus bays at both buildings.

550 STATION IDENTITY
The signage on the Southcenter Parkway
facade is scaled to relate to people viewing
the station at different speeds. The "51" on
the building is oversized so that it can be
clearly read by people driving by, whereas the
"Tukwila Fire Department" signage is scaled
for people stopped at the intersection, and
the "Fire Station 51"signage above the door is
intended to be viewed by visitors approaching
the building on foot. Together, the building
signage establishes a strong station identity
that celebrates the firefighters and supports
the greater community.

A tapered front walk and entry plaza lead
visitors to the main building entry alongside
a depressed rain garden that celebrates the
process of on -site stormwater management.
The walkway is bordered by a low concrete
wall with built-in wood bench seating that
invites visitors to pause or gather. The slots
in the concrete echo the full -height glazing
slots within the brick facade, reinforcing the
established architectural language.
This integrated seat wall strategy is used
throughout the site to define space, including
at the rear of the building in the firefighters'
private courtyard.

NOAH KRIEGSI ANN CONAN STORLIE
HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE
Wood from the fallen maple tree at the Foster
Golf Course has been salvaged for use in
several custom art installations within the
new Public Safety Program buildings. The
Fire Station design team is working with
experienced craftsmen to develop installations
that celebrate the life of the tree and provide
opportunities for both the public and the
firefighters to interact with these slabs.
ABOUT THE FABRICATORS:
NK BUILD
NK build is a two -man, design/build team in Seattle,
Washington, speacializing in custom furniture and built-
ins. With a focus on reclaimed and sustainably sourced
materials, we work primarily with locally salvaged woods
and steel. We both have a long history in the building
trades, as well as with artistic visual mediums. As Seattle
natives, we are very connected to the region and its
unique identity. Much of our aesthetic is informed by tying
together the distinct characters of industry and nature and
portraying the contract between the two. We hope that
our compositions offer much more of a story than just their
function.
Collaboration with our clients allows for the best outcomes.
Some of our most gratifying work in the past has been
with community -focused organizations, especially those
with goals of preservation and public wel I -being. This
list includes The Bullitt Foundation, King County Public
Libraries, Forterra, Greenfire Campus, and Rainier National
Park.
We are very enthused and honored by the chance to
collaborate with the Tukwila Fire Department, We deeply
appreciate the importance of their work, and look forward
to being a part of their new stations. It is our hope that the
department feels a connection and ownership for these
pieces. It is a special opportunity to build things that will
serve as gathering places within the stations, and mark that
space for many years. Additionally, we understand that part
of the new station design is for the greater community of
Tukwila, and an opportunity for the public to feel welcome.
We are further inspired to create works that will help serve
this purpose.

0 NATURAL BEAUTY
Representatives from the Fire Department,
along with the design team and fabricator,
have selected a wood slab from the fallen
Foster Maple Tree for a cantilevered bench in
the station lobby. This art piece will be used
by members of the community who visit the
fire station for activities such as blood pressure
checks.
A larger slab from the Foster Maple has also
been selected to hang on the corridor wall in
a composition with "Tukwila Fire Department"
signage. Visible through the glazing at the
Vestibule, this installation will greet visitors to
the station. The installation of the slab running
from floor to ceiling will give the impression
the tree is growing out of the floor and will
celebrate the unique size and shape of the
Foster maple.

0 LEGACY & CAMARADERIE
The kitchen table is the heart of the station,
where crews share meals and enjoy downtime
together. It was important to the firefighters
that this space have a special significance,
thus they decided to incorporate a wood slab
from the Foster Maple tree as a nod to the
history of their city. An appropriate slab has
been selected and the fabricator will work
closely with the firefighters to design a custom
steel base for the table, which will be large
enough to seat the current crew and that of a
future expansion. A sibling table is also being
fabricated for Station 52, which will be sized
to fit the crew and leadership housed at the
Battalion Station.

ARTIST
0 PROGRAM INSPIRATION
A local graphic designer is working with the
Tukwila firefighters to develop a series of
murals to be located throughout the two new
stations. These murals will playfully illustrate
aspects of the firefighters' work and provide
moments of inspiration and levity, as well as
another visual link between the two buildings
as crews, administrative staff, and the general
public move through or visit the stations.
The majority of the murals are based on a series
of photographs that the designer took of the
Tukwila firefighters in action. The image devel-
oped for the fitness room wall at FS51 invokes
the themes of body, team, and movement, re-
minding the firefighters why they put so much
effort into their physical conditioning.

0 HISTORY AND MEANING
The mural designed for the Lobby wall behind
the wood bench is inspired by the Foster
Maple and acts as an interpretive guide to the
bench below and adjacent, wall -mounted slab.
Developed with input from the City of Tukwila
and the Fire Department, the art reinterprets
the tree's rings into a timeline for the City and
Tukwila FD. The text calls out key events and
dates in their organizational histories, starting
with the year the tree was planted and finishing
with 2020, the year the building will be opened.

The entry plaza for Station 52vvill be utilized
byfirefighters and administrative staff, aswell
as building visitors. The entry plaza identifies
and activates the main building entrance and
provides a unique place within the site to relax
or socialize.
Offset benches and landscaping create smaller
clusters ofseating and frame the primary
entry pathway. The site constraints required
the inclusion of hammerhead for visiting
apparatus toturn around in when arriving at
the station. Rather than devote a large swath
ofpavement exclusively for this infrequent use,
the design team created acontinuous surface
of patterned paving between the front apron
and the building entry, demarcating the turn-
around area with small, concrete plinths rather
than ubiquitous steel bollards.
The language of the benches and plinths /s
a permutation of the site walls and benches
designed for Fire Station 51,vvhich again
echoes the language of the building facade.

frontage. Only the northern -most portion of
the building will be visible from 65th Ave S and
