Intergrated with the contex: To connect the local and future community as the neighborhood
undergoes a period of cultural growth and regeneration, Studio Weave explored the changing
role of a library in modern civic infrastructure conceiving a new wing that offers places to
work, learn, socialize, and gather.
As the out side looks classic to intergrate with the context while the inside is modern to
preserve the development of materials
Preserving the nature: developing the building
To save the nature feartures in the site has a
great Impoact to encourage people
to do the same
Extrovert to the out side : the new Lea Bridge Library extension to sit harmoniously in between existing mature
trees in Friendship Gardens, resulting in a rectangular floor plan punctuated by a striking semi-circular glass cut
out
he architects used this momentary squeeze
in the plan created by the sweeping
concave glass as an opportunity to divide the
pavilion. A pivoting timber doorhangs flush
with wall joinery and swings across
to create a flexible private events space,
offering a valuable community
asset while also future-proofing a further
revenue stream for the library
Sustainability points : The architects’ rigorous approach to sustainability is felt
throughout the building. Studio Weave has delicately balanced a light, open-plan
community space that benefits from a considered passive cooling strategy supported
by mechanical heat recovery ventilation (MVHR). The ceiling is carefully positioned to
protect the exposed aggregate floor from direct sunlight, and the continuous glass
wall opens at intervals to allow for natural cross-ventilation.
Recycling : Reuse is a strong theme throughout the new pavilion. All internal joinery and furniture timber was
salvaged from trees felled across the publicly owned streets and parks across London in an effort to reduce the
carbon footprint of the pavilion and reuse existing waste materials.
Social hub : The extension has revived the library as a key cultural and community hub through
which social cohesion is fostered, offering events, activities, and opportunities to empower local residents.
Where the library offers access to a wealth of knowledge, Studio Weave’s architecture offers an open public
asset and space for the community to share experiences.
