This September, Steven Holl completed the Hunters Point Library in Long Island. It has a mostly concrete structure and features large irregular windows that provide waterfront views of Manhattan. The concrete is painted with an aluminum finish, and the windows are placed in sculpted cuts carved out of the facade to show the movement of the people inside and give expansive views of the Manhattan skyline. The size of the windows also allows natural light in from all sides to animate the space within. Additionally, the interior is lined with warm bamboo, which combines with the natural light to create an inviting space. The library also has a reading garden and incorporates green space around the perimeter of the building despite the compact nature of the design.
