Los Gatos Library
The civic library as a beacon for knowledge
Nestled at the foot of a wooded hillside across from historic Pageant Park, this library is a centerpiece for the Town’s Civic Center. Our design takes its inspiration from the lantern, which in architectural terms suggests an open structure of light material. Glazing, skylights, and louvers optimize daylight; at night, white and colored artificial illumination allows views into the library.
LEED GOLD CERTIFIED
“I think Mr. Andrew Carnegie would be satisfied with what this groundbreaking is about to produce. At the library, knowledge is available for take-out. All you have to do is order.”
