黔南山地消防与应急救援训练中心位于贵州省东南部，边坡最大高度为20米，建筑周围环绕着连绵不断的喀斯特绿色山峰。受西面山体影响，建筑场地呈不规则形状，同时综合体东部紧靠一条河流。尽管综合体位于一个相对独立的区域，却处于该地区主要的人口密集区，位于老城和村落群之间。该综合体与主要道路直接相连，服务城市面积约为10平方公里，也为附近村落提供配套服务。

The fire station complex is located on a slope with a maximum difference in height of 20 meters, surrounded by continuous karst green peaks in South-East Guizhou province. The site has an irregular shape affected by the mountain on the West, while the complex faces a river on the East. Despite being located in a relatively independent area, the complex stands in-between the district main urban agglomerations, the old town and a cluster of several villages. With a direct connection to the main road axes, the complex serves an area of approximately 10 square kilometers, providing as well backup services for the old town and the nearby villages.

综合体的总体规划包括两套交叉的网格系统，与周围山体地形紧密相连。处于南侧的建筑群，即第一个网格系统，与河流平行排列，包含了主体消防站建筑、指挥中心、训练大厅以及可容纳160名学员的宿舍。北侧建筑群，即第二个网格系统，包含了办公室和训练设施。两个系统的基本单元均呈矩形，通过景观系统接入功能建筑群。而南北两组建筑群通过一条外部公路带以及一系列小径相连，这样的设计灵感来自于贵州典型的山村布局。

Two sets of intersecting grid systems arrange the overall masterplan composition, interlocking with each other in relationship with the mountain topography. The southern group is arranged in a parallel progression with the river and includes the main fire station building, command center, training hall; together with the residential units, which can accommodate up to 160 trainees. The second system, in the northern area, includes offices and training facilities. Both systems take rectangular volumes as basic units, combined into functional unit groups by the landscape system. The two groups are connected by an outer road belt, while the connections between the buildings are organized through a series of paths, inspired by the typical layout of Guizhou mountain villages.
