架构师提供的文本描述。海事9庆祝建筑传统和图标的历史纽约市消防队。这座建筑由两层叠移的建筑组成，材料和颜色形成鲜明对比，体现了公共空间和私人空间的分离。一座宽敞的公共大厅-玻璃地板到天花板-贯穿大楼的长度-加强了消防队员的持续存在和警惕，同时允许消防队员保持隐私和对海岸进行必要的监视。船，消防队员2，必然是组成的一部分；没有船就没有房子，所以船的材料、颜色和质量都反映在房子里。

Text description provided by the architects. Marine 9 celebrates the architectural tradition and iconography of historical New York City firehouses. As a composition of 2 stacked and shifted volumes with contrasting materials and color, the building expresses the separation between public and private space. An expansive common hall running the length of the building -- glazed floor-to-ceiling with fritted glass -- reinforces the constant presence and watchful eye of the firefighters, while allowing the firefighters both privacy and the necessary surveillance of the shore. The boat, the Firefighter 2, is necessarily part of the composition; without the boat there would be no house and so the materials, colors and mass of the boat are reflected in the house.

楼梯大厅和公共入口是消防队作为一个公民机构的表现形式，这让人想起了旧的消防车车厢和楼梯，在那里传统上陈列着徽章和横幅。在新的消防局里，楼梯大厅向大楼的私人一侧开放，向外看房子-手表和远处的新船。

The stair hall and public entry are the expressions of the firehouse as a civic institution, recalling the old firehouse truck bay and stair, where plaques and banners are traditionally displayed. In the new firehouse, the stair hall opens to the private side of the building, looking out past the house-watch and to the new boat beyond.

兵营取代了曾经住在斯台普顿滨水区的海军陆战队的一个改装过的狗舍。新的结构是建立在海军的家庭码头和支持FDNY的新的国家消防船，消防队员2。

The barracks replaces a converted dog kennel that once housed the marine company at the Stapleton Waterfront. The new structure is built on the Navy’s Homeport pier and supports the FDNY’s new state-of-the-art Fire Boat, Firefighter 2.

这座新的“房子”只占据了1440英尺长的现浇混凝土桥墩的一部分，它尊重限制分区和公共通道的要求，这些要求决定了建筑物的高度和宽度。新的消防局不分性别。从程序上讲，这座大楼包括现代化消防队的所有部分：一家机械厂、一家商业厨房、一间心血管锻炼室、宿舍和办公室-除非没有卡车。

Occupying only a portion of the 1440 foot long cast-in-place concrete pier, the new “house” respects restrictive zoning and public access requirements that define the height and breadth of the building. The new firehouse is gender-neutral. Programmatically, the building includes all the parts of a modern firehouse: a machine shop, commercial kitchen, cardiovascular workout room, dorm and offices – except there is no truck.

海洋9计划作为FDNY设施设计和建造方面今后可持续做法的范本。可持续的战略包括绿色屋顶、太阳能热水系统、被动太阳能供暖、采光、被动遮阳和自然通风。

Marine 9 is intended to serve as a model for future sustainable practices in facility design and construction for the FDNY. Sustainable strategies include a green roof, a solar hot water system, passive solar heating, daylighting, passive shading and natural ventilation.
