Woodland Library Conceptual Design
I've lived in Woodland for 20 years. The design is perfect. I could not think of anything better to show Woodland going forward while honoring the history of the town.

Client Notes
Create inspiring, exciting concept design for a new library building to replace the too-small, outdated facility serving a young and growing community. Prioritize public engagement, building on previous community efforts and giving Woodland momentum to see this project through construction.
Designer Notes
With a new site already acquired to relocate Woodland's library and a community ready to plan their next steps, our task was to explore the potential of the new location and create a beautiful, practical library concept design. Indoor spaces prioritize flexibility, growth, and accessibility to support a broad variety of activities and the needs of different age groups. Outdoor spaces are used as an extension of the library, with gathering spaces and learning gardens, and a plan to connect the library with the nearby public park and lake.
