Serra Mesa/Kearny Mesa Public Library
San Diego, CA
Library Facility
Designed to blend well with the surroundings, this 1-story, wood framed structure was constructed using Green Building Technology and recycled materials. The exterior walls have a textured plaster finish, detailed with multi-colored ceramic tile. The rooflines are of various heights and feature old world clay barrel tile with a multi-colored custom blend. The main lobby provides access to the two areas of the library. Three large courtyards surrounded by native landscaping have also been incorporated in each main area.
In keeping with the community’s request, the design is based on the Mission-Revival and turn-of-the-century Craftsman style. Green Building Technology dictated that windows be plentiful throughout the building, providing natural lighting and ventilation.
