Fire Station Doetinchem, Stokhorstweg 1, Doetinchem, The Netherlands designed by Bekkering Adams architects
The Fire station in Doetinchem is designed as a villa, integrated in the landscape. It is a green oasis situated along side the major thoroughfare in Doetinchem. The horizontally oriented building is surrounded by majestic trees and has clear, crisp lines and surfaces. The grass of the surrounding countryside is pulled over the building in a large slope and evolves into a series of roof gardens and patios on top of the sheltered area for the fire trucks. -- ArchDaily

Firestation Berendrecht, Kruisweg 22, 2040 Antwerpen, Belgium, 2014 designed by Bovenbouw
On top of the two utilitarian floors  there is a domestic floor with a living room, kitchen, fitness, sleeping rooms and an outdoor sports field, arranged around a patio. The sports field, located on the corner of the building, is covered with a semi-transparent wooden panelling and therefore stays in contact with outside. -- ArchDaily
