This project was a concerted effort with the County of Riverside to upgrade Fire Station #34's emergency response capabilities with a single-story, 1,776 SF addition. The selective demolition of the existing living quarters will make way for a brand new kitchen, living room, and dining area, as well as an 6-dorm, 12-bed sleeping quarters. The building's systems will be modified for the new construction, including mechanical, electrical, and fire alarm systems. Some site improvements will include new ADA-compliant parking stalls, updated sidewalks, and various other hardscape improvements.

​

The architectural addition to the existing fire station distinguishes the new from the old through the use of modern materials and techniques. With a little refurbishment and a fresh coat of paint, the building's distinct elements are woven into a collaborative dialogue, creating a unified and fresh new facade. This new facade is further enhanced by generous new living quarters with high ceilings and a spacious layout. Overall, the newly improved Fire Station #11 is set to provide support to the community of Lake Elsinore, CA for years to come.
