Clifton Library Final Kayla Smith

The design I created for this library started out with me thinking about how to create a space that is comfortable and simple but intriguing. I wanted my building to have a lot of natural light highlighting my elements inside. I also wanted to connect Clifton Plaza with my design creating a space that flows.
