What the Library is About…
This library acts as a sanctuary in a bustling city full of people needing to slow down. There are distinct areas designated for various interests emphasizing the visible nature. The building captures the intentions of simplicity, peace, and reflection with calming materials inspired by Japanese architecture. There is solidity with the brick embracing the thinner wood walls and glass sheets acting as a warm blanket to each programmatic volume.
