The library was conceived as a pavilion in the trees, an elevated forest perch for reading and enjoying natural views. A solid brick-enclosed volume with punched openings for fenestration houses all the service related spaces. A much larger reading pavilion with uninterrupted views houses book stacks and study areas. Natural materials were used throughout the library to compliment the natural setting such as red clay brick, natural patina zinc panels and honey colored woods. Aluminum insulated glass walls surround the pavilion with continuous glazing along the tops of the walls. This creates the illusion that the wood roof is floating above the space.
