ARCH&DESIGN

We where given a 4 story building for a remodeling design. The project was a library, so taking into account the project context, located in the surrounding of a small central park in the heart of the valley of the city of Quito called Cumbayá. A zone that welcomes people of all ages at all time. I was inspired in family as a nucleus for my composition. Starting from the entrance, that includes a magazine lounge with balcony, a kiddy house with back yard I welcome all members of the family. In the underground floor we find a cafeteria with patio and the costumer service area. Second floor the main library room and in the upper level a map library and computer area. As a result of the long terrain and a limited 2 facade front to back light entrance, I composed a skylight in the heart of the library with a little tree in the middle.
