Clifton Library Concept Cole Masse

For my library project I wanted to focus on ease of access via circulation and a strong use of natural light. I have based my circulation around a center atrium that also allows light through a glass double roof to reflect light through. I have been heavily inspired by my precedents use of atrium, Carree d’art.
