Fire hazard is a common threat that often occurs in cities, this fire incident does not only occur on land, but can also occur in coastal or marine areas such as the Wakatobi Sea coast, this problem certainly needs special attention from the Wakatobi government to provide containers as a place to accommodate extinguishing activities and other facilities. However, if reviewed based on the actual state of the Wakatobi Regency Fire Department office, it is still inadequate, both in terms of buildings and rooms, supporting facilities, the number of private firefighters, and less strategic office locations. Therefore, it is necessary to plan a new Fire Station with a modern architectural approach as a reference design, while the planning method through research and observation methods that are expected through modern architectural design can accommodate and improve the performance of firefighters in the future. The result of the design of the fire department is a simple building design, minimal ornaments, form follows function, with the processing of facades formed by horizontal and vertical elements.
