Demolition Plan

The reflected ceiling plan for the library incorporates two distinctive grid ceiling systems from CSI Creative to enhance both visual character and acoustic comfort. On the main library floor, a bladed grid ceiling introduces subtle movement and rhythm, breaking up the stillness of the surrounding gypsum board ceiling. Troffer lights are strategically placed between the blades and recessed downlights provide general illumination throughout the space. In the children’s area, circular acoustic light panels and colorful pendants from LightArt in green, red, and blue are suspended at varying heights to create a playful and dynamic atmosphere. The reading booth area features a folded grid system that evokes the look of tree branches or stalks. Between these sculptural forms, Unika Vaev linear baffle blade acoustic lights are suspended to support both task lighting and sound control, completing a layered and engaging overhead design.

Circulation Desk

The library was originally located in a second floor office suite at 1875 Lawrence Street in Denver, and the design began by removing most of the existing walls to create an open concept with clear sightlines across the entire floor. A custom circulation desk anchors the center of the space, designed with two functional sides: one welcoming visitors as they enter the library and the other serving as the information and checkout point toward the back. A floor to ceiling decorative tree rises between the two desks, with signage suspended on both sides to guide patrons through the space. In the children’s area, a built in bookshelf with circular reading nooks and window bench seating creates an inviting and imaginative place for young readers. The reading booth area features booth style seating divided by partitions, offering quieter communal zones for study, reflection, and connection.
