Birkenhead Library & Civic Centre, Auckland

The architectural concept for the Birkenhead Library is based around a simple narrative of looking through ancient existing trees on the site to the view - thus notions of solid and void, transparency, light quality, pattern and form were considered and modelled to inform various design issues. The intention was to have a pleasant and verdant quality of light available within the building that subtly changes during the day, leading to the building becoming transparent at night. The use of brick is a reference back to the old Plunket buildings that once occupied the site and provides a strong organisational element to the building's design.
