Renovation of Multipurpose Spaces in Fire Department Medno, Ljubljana

Volunteer fire stations play a significant public role in rural villages. Beside a home for firefighters, they also offer a space for social gatherings and activities of people of all age groups. An important aspect of the renovation was to recognize aforementioned qualities and enhance them. The renovated premises are therefore designed abstractly enough, to be able to accommodate the necessary hybrid program. Can a multipurpose hall become a gym, a playroom, or even a village living room? The meeting room turns into a museum space, where we can learn about the history of volunteer firefighting.
