The city of Caledonia, MS, has performed a preliminary

analysis and programing through GLM Collaborative

Partners to establish the base needs for a new Lowndes
County Volunteer Fire Department District 1 Fire Station. The
intent of the architect and constructor team is to create a
project delivery that is aimed to providing the owner with
the best building design to meet the needed requirements,
while maintaining the best value in construction and cost
effciency. The budget of the project depicts certain restraints
on what realistically can be designed and constructed. The
prefabricated industrial shed with a small mezzanine for the
administration building is the low-cost solution that most
communities have opted for because of the effciency. The
design intent was to take the prefabricated shed and make
it more visually appealing and functional for the surrounding
neighborhood.
Through the developing of the design with the intention of
reinterpreting the prefabricated shed design, we established
design objectives to further establish modularity, functionality,
sustainability, and constructability, with the use of logic and
proportionality.

the brick, contain the name
of all of the firefighters that
would have worked at the
fire station. The rank of the
firefighter is indicated by
the length of the offset from
the wall. The further away
the higher rank. The red

Invisible Structure Inc. Gravelpave2 and
Grasspave2 are structural systems that provide
heavy load bearing support and containment of
gravel to create a porous surface with unlimited
traffic volume. The system can be used for
storage and filtration of rainwater.
ADA - Both systems create wheelchair
accessible surfaces.
Paths with Gravelpave2 and Grasspave2
systems eliminate the neccessity of concrete or
other impermeable surfaces and provides
porous surfaces that allow increased site
drainage and rainwater filtration.
Gravelpave2 system replaces the need of
concrete and asphalt driveways, and has been
specificly designed for traffic loads large enough
for firetrucks, while also having a permeable
surface that filters pollutants and provides
stormwater mitigation
