BUILDING TYPE:
Government buildings

Predicated on geometrical forms, this building's design combines a triangular town hall with a square fire station, the two linked by a glazed passage. This triangle is symmetrically divided over an axis produced from the main road. Inside the triangle is a square, one corner of which projects to accommodate the entrance and staircase. Two hemispherical rooflights serve to complete this exercise in basic geometry.
