About
The design for the new Redmond Library embodies a forward-thinking vision that seamlessly integrates with the city’s historical context. The building’s defining feature is its broad, unifying roof: a generous front porch that invites indoor/outdoor participation with the public realm. This roof was sized to host a photovoltaic array that generates the building’s entire annual energy needs, demonstrating the Library’s commitment to being all-electric, net-zero energy, and operationally carbon neutral.
