Throughout the years, our firm has completed all sorts of projects for clients from across the world. Employing the finest architects London has to give, we know exactly what is expected of us, and work to ensure that our results are first class. No matter your intentions, be they large or small in scale, we shall see to it that they are given form.

During a period where libraries require an update owing to increased expectations and the age of more advanced technology, money for such endeavours isn’t too plentiful. Not everyone has the necessary funding, but there are less expensive and simpler ways of designing a library. What we are going to do here is go through some of the best tips to remember when it comes to creating these buildings.

The first thing you’ll want to do is remove any barriers that are present. Discover ways in which you can get rid of physical and visual hindrances to utilising the library and obtaining the amenities that lie within. For instance, if there are towering shelves restricting sight lines from the entrance point, discover some way to stabilise elements to lower heights or withdraw shelving. If there are any rooms that close off a section that would be more useful if they’re open, discard said rooms.

Considering the whole is something else that will need doing. Don’t welcome every last cast-off chunk of furnishing. Instead, look for ways to amalgamate fixtures and furniture through form, material, and colour. Augment community notices and free mediums with different self-service goods like copiers, self-check stations, and change machines.

At Coffey Architects, we have had experience in constructing libraries before, with notable examples including the Book Box and the BFI Reuben Library. Thanks to the dedication that we put into our efforts, we have been commended repeatedly with awards from highly respected bodies like RIBA, in addition to others.

If there is a project that you require help with, please give us a call and work with some of the most passionate architects London has. We are creative and can devise solutions for various requirements.
