Deschutes County Libraries

We believe that the best experiences for young people (and, actually, everyone) are those that are at once familiar and strange. Here, a set of stacked boxes alludes to a record player, a filing cabinet, a microwave, a television, and a suitcase, while never quite being any of those. Our system of objects and spaces for the library aimed to create a sense of belonging, but just slightly skewed, offering windows into other worlds by using ordinary objects and spaces, slightly reconfigured, to create portals to sources of wonder.

Primary project partners include: Miller Hull Architecture, Figure Plant, Amy Ruppel, Carla Bonilla Huaroc
