The Westminster Fire Station
1,13 million USD - 6,50 million USD
As you enter WFS, the original carriage doors are permanently left open, inviting residents through the double-glass entrance into the lobby. The dedicated concierge greets you, offering guidance and assistance. Original and restored ceramic brick enriches the building with historic charm. Beyond the lobby, the bronze stationery directs you to the lift, the main stairwell and the courtyard, a tranquil oasis designed by James Lee.
The enclosed courtyard, which was once a turning circle for fire trucks and an exercise yard for the firemen, now serves as a calm and secluded respite from busy city life. This inviting oasis is nestled between the Fire Station and the Station House, effortlessly bridging the old with the new.
Carefully selected plants breathe new life into the atmosphere. A gentle fountain adds to the natural sense of calm, completing a scene of tranquility visible from almost every apartment.
