Best Design Project for Library

About the project (provided by the applicant)

The project, currently in development, centers around the concept of fostering strong neighborly ties. The village of Kachkanar, situated near the city, embodies the spirit of a close-knit community, where residents live like one big family, always ready to lend a helping hand and maintain relationships that have been nurtured over time. The library’s design draws inspiration from the warmth and hospitality of a family home. Its symbol is a key, as they used to be left under the doormat for neighbors. Each area of the library is envisioned as a room: an entryway, a grandfather's room (the adult section), dad’s office (a space with personal computers), a children's room (children's section), a living room (for events), and a kitchen (for gatherings and workshops). Throughout the space, books fill every corner, creating an inviting atmosphere of warmth, friendliness, and community.
