Los Gatos Library
At the base of a wooded hillside, the new 30,000-square-foot Los Gatos Library is a centerpiece for the Town's Civic Center. To expand and promote the library's architectural concept of "a lantern in a forest", Matthew Williams Design worked closely with the architects and designed a complete signage program, donor program, wayfinding system, identity, and a logo.
Construction Cost: $14.4 million (est.)
Completion Date: February 2012

The Children's Room entrance invites visitors with whimsical, playful handwriting which wraps under the soffit and becomes part of the perforated and backlit Celestial Ceiling. Photograph by David Wakely. Used with permission.
