Landscape Architecture Spotlight
The City of Oakland Park Fire Station #9 is a vital community service hub that incorporates innovative landscape architecture to enhance both functionality and aesthetics. SAFEbuilt’s Landscape Architecture team provided comprehensive landscape and irrigation design services, contributing to a project that reflects the city’s forward-thinking approach to public service infrastructure. Originally a sub-consultant for ACAI and Associates, the project was completed under Currie, Sowards, and Aguilla Architects (CSA).
Solutions
SAFEbuilt’s Landscape Architecture team took a leading role in creating a landscape design that met both aesthetic and operational needs. The landscape and irrigation plans were developed to provide low-maintenance solutions while ensuring the environment surrounding the fire station supported its daily functions. Our design aimed to integrate drought-tolerant plants, improve water efficiency, and enhance the station’s visual appeal, creating a welcoming space for both the staff and the community.
To meet the project requirements, we supported the City of Oakland Park with:
- Comprehensive landscape design services
- Full irrigation system design and planning
- Seamless coordination between architectural partners
- Project adaptation through architectural firm transition
Results
The completed Fire Station #9 is a modern facility that exemplifies sustainable and practical landscape design. The landscape design features are both functional and beautiful, enhancing the public perception of the fire station and supporting its role within the community. The project’s successful completion is a testament to the collaboration between ACAI and Associates, Currie, Sowards, and Aguilla Architects, and SAFEbuilt’s Landscape Architecture team.
