How does Everton Park Library connect with its environment?

The design harmoniously integrates the building with its natural surroundings, shaping the structure around an existing tree canopy and offering views of the adjacent park. The new library enhances functionality of the site while honouring the area’s rich timber milling history with its tactile façade and interior elements.

How does the design foster a sense of community?

The new library is a welcoming, tranquil space that encourages people to come together. By mitigating noise from the nearby arterial road and embracing the surrounding landscape, the design creates an inviting environment that promotes relaxation, interaction, and reflection. The library’s layout and connection to the adjacent park unite people, place, and nature, offering flexible indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to diverse community needs.
