Caserne des pompiers de la Benauge, Modern fire station in La Bastide district, Bordeaux, France
The fire station comprises several buildings arranged around a central courtyard, with a 31.5-meter-high main structure spanning nine levels.
Architects Claude Ferret, Yves Salier, and Adrien Courtois constructed the fire station between 1950 and 1954 on the site of former Bordeaux-État railway station.
The aluminum facade, designed by Jean Prouvé, incorporates primary colors and geometric shapes following Bauhaus school and Le Corbusier architectural principles.
The residential building along the Garonne River includes five floors supported by pillars, providing storage space for 12 emergency vehicles and workshops.
The fire station closed on April 2, 2024, following a final parade, as operations moved to a new facility in the Belvédère district.
