• This 6,000 square foot Library will be the County's first new "Green" construction project to be exclusively sustainable building materials and exceed Title 24  energy requirements.  The copper-faced standing seam steel roof form of the building is curvilinear and organic.  The building's facades are highly articulated to reduce the scale of the building and provide shading where required by its orientation. The library opens up dramatically to the north with a large glass curtain wall to collect a maximum of natural light. The concrete panels are treated with exposed aggregates and seashells to reflect the local beach environment, while the roof color will age into a green copper patina.  Steel trellises with bougainvillea over each entry and lush tropical  landscaping will soften the transition from the exterior to the interior.
