Architects Penoyre & Prasad LLC approached the library extension project in Kent with the aim of creating a vibrant contemporary building for study, interaction and exploration. To attain this goal, the architects were seeking creative solutions that would both capture the tradition of the building and also give it a new dynamic. The perforated panels that have been produced exactly according to the architects’ drawings, and have been coated in a shade of gold,,act as eye-catchers. But it is not only the design that convinces visitors to the library, but also the elements that have been furnished with a special textile and sound-absorbing materials so as to improve room acoustics.
