14 GROUP 4 ARCHITECTURE TAB 1 STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONS — RELEVANT EXPERIENCERINCONADA LIBRARY EXPANSION <br />PALO ALTO CA <br />Edward Durell Stone’s 1958 Rinconada Library exemplifies <br />the architect’s trademark of interacting interior and exterior <br />spaces. A permeable, patterned terracotta “veil” encloses the <br />building and two generous reading courtyards. A vast double- <br />pitched and deep-eaved roof caps the building, drawing itself <br />into a high clerestory ridge framed by a low sea of luminous <br />ceiling panels that echo the terracotta pattern. <br />Great care was taken to modernize the library while preserving <br />its historical significance. Original character-defining features <br />were refreshed. New furniture and finishes complement the <br />Modernist language, while new services and spaces, variety <br />and delight create an architectural dialogue responsive to <br />Stone’s vision while ensuring ongoing excellence in library <br />service. Original yellowed and brittle luminous panels were <br />studied and recreated; new panels brightened the space <br />significantly. Old growth maple boards were demounted from <br />interior columns and sequenced for identical reinstallation. <br />Remodels from the 1980s were removed, restoring Stone’s <br />original architectural intent. <br />Furniture and finishes were carefully selected to meet the <br />community’s current and future needs and enliven the space <br />while respecting the historic design. A dedicated teen space <br />was created within the original floor plan. Study room pods <br />were introduced along the perimeter, using a perforated metal <br />screen that echoed the terracotta pattern. <br />COMPLETED 2015 <br />PROJECT TEAM <br />David Schnee, Design Director <br />Jonathan Hartman, Principal Architect <br />Andrea Gifford, Director of Interiors <br />CLIENT CONTACT <br />Colette Chew <br />Public Works Engineering Services Div. <br />City of Palo Alto <br />(650) 329-2482 <br />colette.chew@cityofpaloalto.org <br />EXHIBIT C - PROPOSAL
