CZO.. CZO

Zgrada Centra za zaštitu okoliša (CZO) u Krapinskim Toplicama objedinjuje uredske i servisne prostore Dobrovoljnog vatrogasnog društva Krapinske Toplice. Koncipirana je kao monovolumen promjenjivog profila koji sadrži središnju uredsku jezgru, prostore za vozila i opremu te vatrogasni toranj.

Bijelu limenu ovojnicu nosi kombinacija armirano-betonske jezgre i lagane čelične konstrukcije.

The CZO Building (Center for Environmental Protection) in Krapinske Toplice contains both the office and service spaces of the local Voluntary Fire Brigade. Concieved as a mono-volume of varying profile, the building includes a central office core, spaces for vehicles and equipment, and a fire tower.

The white metal envelope is carried by a combined construction - a reinforced concrete core and a light steel skeleton.

Materijali jasno označavaju namjenu pojedinih prostora – bijele metalne ‘sobe’ nastanjuju vozila, prostori u sirovom betonu namijenjeni su za rad i boravak, a intenzivnom crvenom bojom označeni su prostori kretanja vatrogasaca. 

Toranj, čija osnovna namjena su vatrogasne vježbe, postaje prostorni znak, landmark u krajoliku, a svojom vidljivom čeličnom strukturom jasno pokazuje utilitarni karakter ove arhitekture.

The functions of spaces are clearly distincted by materials - white metal ‘rooms’ for vehicles, raw concrete spaces for working and leisure, and the intense red color areas as firefighters’ communication routes.

The tower, primarily used for firefighter’s training, becomes a landmark, a sign in the landscape, with visible steel structure clearly showing the utilitarian character of the architecture.
