The Redcliffs VIllage Library, is a community building full of metaphors. The street gable is clad in polycarbonate, giving a degree of transparency during the day, and glowing like a light house at night - the lighthouse is both a symbol of knowledge and safety, as is this building. The cladding wraps the building like the hardcover of a book, protecting the contents. Internally, the building is focused on warmth and acoustic performance. Light is filtered and specific, functional and inviting.
