Re: Design Review Application
Project – Linder Village Library
Linder Village Development
Project No. 20139.000
Dear City Planner:
The following is a project narrative for the construction of a one-story library and associated site work
located within the Linder Village development.
The construction of the project will take place on parcel: S0425212500 which is currently zoned (C-C)
community business district, which permits this type of use. There is an existing residential
neighborhood to the south. A future submittal will include the related plaza and market buildings at the
northern portion of the site. The building size is approximately 15,000 square feet with only the building
shell planned for construction; the tenant improvement plans will be submitted at a future date. The
related site work will be constructed specifically for the use of the library.
The building’s exterior has been designed to meet current City design standards and has taken into
consideration the adjacent residential neighborhood, since intention is that the library will become a
hub of pedestrian activity within the immediate context. Conceptually the building’s is derived from a
modern farmhouse aesthetic with supplementary modern planar forms. The farmhouse element
borrows from the familiar design language of the pitched roof form to evoke a sense of community
gathering and involvement. This directly promotes its inherent use, a community library.
The material palette is intended to provide a balance of warmth and contrast throughout the exterior
design. White standing seam metal runs continuously along the farmhouse elements and roofing. With
the white emperor brick providing an additional layer of texture to the design. The white is contrasted
with dark gray Oko skin elongated boards (a glass fiber reinforced concrete product), natural colored
concrete and black metal to provide an interplay of hierarchy with the architectural elements. Warmth
is brought to the building with the western red cedar that wraps up walls and continues to the roof
underside. It is also used at beveled insets at storefronts to establish a cohesive use throughout. The
glazing throughout the building invites natural light and the public towards the interior of the library,
which provides interactivity between the exterior and interior. This is especially significant since the
future plaza will play a large role in activating the space in the front of the library.

The front façade of the building consists of the main entry, which is the focal point of the building design
with the farmhouse element. Glazing with black mullions is integral to the inviting nature of the design
and is used to encompass the entirety of the opening. It is enveloped with white standing seam siding
on the outside and western red cedar on the interior soffit and walls. This sets the precedent in the
design language to use the western red cedar to highlight major architectural features. Adjacent to main
entry on the east, glazing wraps up the standing seam metal wall at four instances and transitions into
the roof. This provides visual interest in terms of breaking up the façade and relates back to the design
langue of the east entry.
At the east entry, an abstracted version of the farmhouse element is established with a rhythm of voids
and solids via the column placement. This area establishes a transition of public space to the library’s
interior. Adjacent to the entry the western red cedar wraps up the wall and up into the soffit to provide
a contrast to the white metal surrounding it; inherently this warms up the space. The concrete at the
eastern portion of the front façade grounds the white building mass. Planar forms are used toward the
west side of the facade to transition from height of the farmhouse. The contrast to the brick and white
metal is accomplished with the use of the Oko skin. Brick material is introduced to serve as the bridge
between the two elements with transparency being carried through the design via storefronts—similar
to the building roof lines—which gradually step down.
The other elevations match the design language of the main entry in terms of reiterating the modern
farmhouse aesthetic and material combinations to create a cohesive design. The east elevation is
visually anchored by the Oko skin mass on the left with a brick bridging to the voluminous entry—some
relief from inclement weather is provided under the entry.
The focal point of the rear elevation is also a modern farmhouse element which matches the front
façade, with the addition of wooden louvers on the exterior to protect users from southern exposure of
the sun. With this design language the building responds to providing visual interest to the
neighborhood context directly south of the site. The adjacent planar forms serve to break up the façade
with overlapping Oko skin against the white brick. In addition, the overall scale of the building is lowered
to respond to the height of the surrounding neighborhood. The canopy placed above the windows
serves to bring down the scale of the building to the pedestrian scale since it will be an actively used
space via the book drop off. The west elevation, like the east, is anchored with the Oko skin massing.
Materials wrap from the front and rear elevations--giving the building a sense of continuity.
The design intent with mechanical is to have it serve the building without being obtrusive. Mechanical
equipment and units will be placed on the rooftop with darky gray metal panels used to screen,
preventing vision of the units from the ground and tying in with the material palette.
The sitework will be constructed in phases with a portion of site improvements that have already been
installed. The market buildings and plaza directly north of the library will be the portion of the site
planned for future development. Visitors parking has been designed to accommodate up to 121 vehicles
which is over the 30 required. Ultimately these will be shared with the future plaza markets but will be
more than enough to serve the building. Landscaping throughout has been planned to create a pleasant
experience for the pedestrian both on foot and vehicle alike with a variety of plant colors and sizes. In
addition, landscaping will be placed directly adjacent to the trash enclosure to screen it from the
pedestrian traffic.
