Caserne Jacques Vion, Fire station in Saint-Cyprien, Toulouse, France.
The building features a double-curved concrete roof over the vehicle garage and a 12-story residential tower containing 75 apartments for firefighters.
Architect Pierre Debeaux completed the station in 1966, naming it after Lieutenant Jacques Vion who died fighting a forest fire in Var in 1970.
The structure received the Remarkable Contemporary Architecture label in 2019 and earned Monument Historique status in September 2023.
By 2026, the fire station will transform into a mixed-use complex with coworking spaces, restaurants, sports facilities, and 96 residential units.
The building's mechanical properties allow for thin 8-centimeter vaulted ceilings created through concrete projection on specifically designed formwork.
