This is a firehouse – Yes, a FIREHOUSE – in Mexico City designed by at 103 and bgp arquitectura. As I’ve said before, I don’t speak Spanish – so you’ll have to wait for César to add some commentary to this post [and right it up for arquitectura.MNP] for more in-depth coverage.

    Finally something beyond decent for our heavily underpaid yet brave firemen.
