Replacement Library Schematic Design

Sierra Madre, California

PBWS was selected to provide schematic design services for a new, 14,500 square foot, two-story public library. The facility's design needed to accommodate entry from the front and rear sides on two different levels with the ability to control access for evening functions. The new building is located and arranged to preserve existing monumental trees and create a park-like setting facing the main boulevard. The building design takes advantage of diffuse natural daylighting and provides panoramic views of the nearby mountains.
