PRACTICE: LIBRARY DEVELOPMENT

CONCEPTUAL SKETCH

CLIFTON LIBRARY CREATES UNIQUE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR EXPERIENCES DEFINED BY THE FORM AND STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING AND THROUGH THOUGHTFUL INTEGRATION OF THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT IN THE FORM OF NATURAL LIGHT AND VEGETATION.

AXON WITH SHADOWS

IN ADDITION TO THE CENTRAL LIGHT WELL, CONNECTING EACH SIDE OF THE LIBRARY TO ITSELF, THE STRUCTURE OF THE BUILDING IS EXPOSED THROUGHOUT AND THE FLOORS IN THE NORTH WEST AND SOUTH EAST CORNERS ARE PULLED BACK FROM THE FACADE TO FURTHER EMPHASIZE THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR SPACES RELATIONSHIP TO THE STRUCTURE. THIS ALSO SERVES TO PROVIDE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF THE BUILDING, AS ONE WILL FEEL AND SEE THE WHOLE BUILDING ON EACH FLOOR.
