LEA Architect’s Lawrence Enyart, FAIA, LEED Fellow & Lance Enyart, AIA, LEED AP worked closely with the Sedona Fire District(SFD) and the Sedona communities over eight years in designing Sedona Fire Station No. 6 to arrive at this very functional, cost effective, and award winning sustainable building.  Sedona Station 6 had its “first responder initiation”by housing several fireman fighting the recent devastating “Slide Fire”……indeed, the high tech Sedona Station 6 regionally protects human health and the environment.

Sedona Station 6 is located along State Route 179 and is sited between two very important neighbors;Christ Lutheran Church of Sedona and the Jewish Synagogue. The two religious entities strongly support this first responder project with shared driveways / shared parking and areinterconnected with a special lighted Friendship Trail that passes in front of the entry sequence to the fire station demonstrating community involvement, education, and outreach.

The stunning architecture of this red rock country design draws inspiration in form, materials, color, and texture from the beauty of the surrounding Sedona mountains and red rock formations as well as the significant modern architecture of the nearby Chapel of the Holy Cross. Sedona Station 6 has become a sustainable design & community involvement Icon for this region and the State of Arizona.

An innovative use of technology is shown by the mounting of clean energy SolarPV panels that cantilever from the top of a wall to double as shade for an exterior work and training spaces. Additional carports feature solar PV panels and light colored pavements to mitigate the heat island effect.
