Gyumri’s fire department building was built at the beginning of the 20th century and is one of the few buildings in Armenia that signify modernism in the Soviet era. After studying the architecture of the building, our team decided to maintain its main structure and eliminate the additional structures, which were added on recently. We also created small walkways and halls taking one from the backyard to the street through the building. The rough stone tuff was covered in white plaster to create a more modern feeling.
The café-bar on the first floor creates a nice flow and connects the street to the backyard of the building as well. The rooms on the second floor are connected to create an open workspace filled with natural light. Modernistic graphic and industrial design were used as the foundation for the color scheme and concept of the interior.
