Seven striking buildings that make a statement with red

A timber-clad fire station and an arena with a zigzagging facade are among the projects that feature in this roundup of red buildings. Photo by Måns Berg Liden's Brandstation, Sweden, by Kod Arkitekter Stockholm studio Kod Arkitekter used bright red-stained cladding to distinguish this fire station in Liden, Sweden, as a local landmark. Its concrete and glue-laminated timber structure is partially sunken into the site, which was selected for its close proximity to a nearby highway that will help ensure "rapid emergency response".

Completed by local studio Chybík + Krištof, the 5,650-seat Jihlava Municipal Arena serves as a cultural hub for the city as well as a home for a local ice hockey team – to which the red colour of the facade also nods.
