in the woluwe-saint-pierre municipal in belgiam, plus office architects have designed the country’s first passive house library.
setting a new standard for environmentally and energy efficient public
structures, the distinctive building is recognized by its shimmering
gold cladding.
the library operates as the front of a school campus, while linking the educational facilities to the neighborhood and its residents. seen from afar, the building nestles in-between a wooded area among a residential neighborhood. wrapped completely in golden, metal panels, the design has historic references to the golden letters seem on old manuscripts dating back to the middle ages. secondly, the façade was chosen to reflect its surroundings while radiating a golden glow which is framed by its green context.
internally, the spatial organization follows a grid which has influenced the layout of shelving and even the rhythm of windows.
promoted as a welcoming space for exchanging ideas and dialogue, the
interiors have been kept neutral and functional – more modest on then
its exterior– with generous space and circulation due to the evolution
of the relationship between technology and libraries.
central to the plan is the patio garden that regulates the heat and daylight needed for the building energy consumption and allows for outdoor reading. achieving the ‘passive house’ construction standard, the extremely low energy consumption of the building is due to energy features such as heat pump, photo-voltaic panels and heavy insulation which has in turn, lead the project to win the exemplary building 2014 award by the brussels capital region.
