Shelly Bay Library 2 (2021)

The second project of a three phase design exploration of a library for the Shelly Bay community. The focus of this project is the relationship between form and natural light.

Windows and diffuse skylighting bring natural light into the space with sharp shadows adding complexity to the floor plane.

Layers of trace to further resolve the floor plan. 

Skylight openings were determined based on where light was needed within the space.

Cutting away the corner gave line of sight through to the wharf and makes the building less intrusive to pedestrian flow.
