The Library
Dursley Gloucestershire
The design for Dursley Library was inspired by the concept of “curiosity”. Sited on a side road away from the Town’s High street the building is designed to be arresting and literally leans out into the street. It is a mysterious modern presence in a typically unplanned piece of British townscape. The building invites you in and
challenges you to discover the new library inside.
The building occupies the entire footprint of its site and over sails the perimeter.
Its skewed glass façade reflects the traditional Victorian façades opposite and is seen against the backdrop of the Cotswold hills behind.
Shortlisted for RIBA regional award 2007
