NORTHPORT PUBLIC LIBRARY
​
Objective: The Village of Northport has commissioned us to design a library the will be located next to the Northport Harbor at the end of Main Street. We have been tasked to design building to either hit with the community or to become a pearl in the community.
The Village would like the designs to include the following:
Children's Area

Site Analysis
My goal was to form a relationship between the park and the library. I took inspiration from the K.O. Lee Aberdeen Public Library in Aberdeen, South Dakota. There were three keys elements I wanted to incorporate into my design.
-
A big see through entrance connecting the park and library.
-
A brick façade to preserve the neighborhood.
-
Have a multi-purpose area facing the water for stunning views.
