Type: Fabrication

Location: Lexington, KY

Status: Completed 2016

Providence Montessori Elementary needed to create more classroom space without building an addition onto their existing building. As a solution, we turned their existing library into a classroom and transformed a nearby room into a flexible space that is part library, recourse storage and multi-purpose. In order to maximize space, we designed and fabricated mobile library storage. This inventive furniture design now allows the library to transform into a play area for an after-school program. Containers for books fold away to reveal containers for play. As a nod to Providence Montessori’s logo, a custom tree chandelier defines the libraries central reading area. Carved into the tree are fifty rings to commemorate the schools 50th anniversary.

Our designs create functional modular storage that can be used every day.
