Opening the Book brings library space planning expertise to achieve the optimal design within a given situation. Good design is an evolutionary process and requires creative collaboration between all those involved – architects, contractors, project managers – as well as the client library. Flexibility to adapt as the situation changes can be crucial.

We have worked in many different contractual situations with principal contractors and council departments. We can advise on:

• entrances, exits and people flow
• capacities
• M & E requirements in relation to library furniture
• finishes for flooring and decoration
