John Spoor Broome Library
The complex is located on the premises of a former psychiatric clinic. One of the main tasks of the design was to create a connection between the buildings existing from the 1930s and 1950s and the required new buildings. The library plays a central roll here. The constructor wanted a light, open building with an atmosphere conductive to studying.
