Arlington County Fire Station No. 3 is sited prominently along Old Dominion Road in the historic Cherrydale neighborhood of Arlington, Virginia. This two-story 14,831 SF textured brick station responds to the needs of this forward-looking community. Nestled into a steeply sloping site, the building’s design balances the proportions and materials of a civic building with the scale and contextual forms of local homes.

Modeled after older, traditional firehouses, the design has been adjusted to meet contemporary demands. Commonly used living and dining areas are conveniently located directly above the apparatus bays while live-in areas are more removed in the eastern wing.

This project is certified LEED Silver.
