Architectural Character

Success Criteria

Feel connected

The future Library and Learning Center is a success!

What key words describe it?

Middle of residential area, fit in with residential but also stand out

Wood (WARM + WELCOMING) exterior responding to trees

Benches will make the feel neighborly (#19)

City Hall feels Industrial - suitable for location

Two way connection to the world

Approach + Experience

Alien in neighborhood

Form + Stature

Materiality

Connectivity + Axis

Iconic, that will last, timeless Don't need a peaked roof just to match the residential neighborhood

Open to sky topmost level to allow for drive-in movie viewing

Think of a drive-in theater as a model for use!

Needs to reflect to the community warmth and welcome (represents the neighborhood) Pride and Worth (#5, #7, #19)

#19 fits into Sunnyvale neighborhood

Exhibits of distance markers from major cities

1

5

14

Maybe better in the el camino area

10

Nest - safe place - bring people together - safety + comfort/ welcoming/ cross generational

Open - visiblility in - more inviting than #19

19 Too Rigid

6 15

11

20

2

Fully shaded preferred

Enclosure is perfect for outdoor space

window and doorway to the world!

Kids interact with the man in the front (statue)

Envelope + Context

Stature is nice

Wow factor!

Parking scale is a concern (multi-level to minimize impact)

Welcoming feel

7 Angles are unsettling - not fit for residential neighborhood

Architectural Character

Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success!

What key words describe it?

Concern for graffiti on glazing

Baseball damaging glazing?

Hate to give up building space - proximity to park - outdoor spaces might not be necessary

Approach + Experience

Roof form plays well with slopes of park

Form + Stature

5

1

Concern for damage to glazing

Swales and berms to compliment the building

Landscape - is it being considered?

Materiality

Colorful - visually appealing

Connectivity + Axis

Brick reminiscent of Eichlers - to tie into neighborhood

Envelope + Context

6 #21 - is there interactive outdoor space in front?

Something that is contained - Needs to grow plants over it look like

Connected Exterior Space for community without interrupting school program/ schedule

a Library #17 - Address homeless sheltering or living in front of Library

does not fit in neighborhood

#8 - beautiful roof form

7 16

Insulation to keep heating cooling costs down

#14 - covered New children's hospital at Stanford walkway/breeze (Lucile Packard) - redwood feature ways as pleasant (hangar 1 at Moffett field) - can outdoor space - Library incorporate Sunnyvale piece provides of history? invitation Like outdoor Children oriented - Solar would be space in 19 - nothing here that #16 - Like windows, nice to have to blending in materials, modern, like that - speaks to that power the with Park is Outdoor space with benches- nice to have a place to hang building (ZNE nice out and read a book ready)

Architectural Character

Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success!

What key words describe it?

Love Contemporary style - modern and contemporary - 2,4,16 materials are nice but all right angles - high-desert, boxy not appealing

Commonality of homes reflected in some parts of the library is desired (Eichlers) 2:12 sloped roofs with exposed beams - nice and common neighborhood element to replicate

#12 light patterns! Good #19 - Abundance of glass, roof feature, benches are pretty

2, 16 is amazing, 18, 13, 3, 19 - do not care about matching Lakewood School - Love Contemporary!

Hours? - programming at different hours - light pollution impacting neighbors homes?

Roof being taller in one section is appealing - 19 + 8 very pretty - 15 or 14 do not like

Approach + Experience

Form + Stature

Materiality

Connectivity + Axis

Envelope + Context

Like Openness

#12 light patterns! Good opportunity, pretty! opportunity,very very pretty!

7 16

Park is focal point hence Library as focal point and highly visible - features to highlight!

Lakewood park is very busy - outdoor space will be well used if it can be used afterhours - people will take advantage

Architectural Character

Success Criteria The future Library and Learning Center is a success!

What key words describe it? #5 could serve as a beacon to draw people in

8, 14, 3 - covered opening as you approach building

have things or toys you could check out - areas for kids to access things - interactive/ stimulii

#12 with bris soleil - on sides of building that will harsh sunlight - transparency of open window on other sides

Mezzanine looking over park

#7 - reminds of Central Texas

greenbelt at back - bike racks at back will be ideal - bike friendly

#3 - looks like bow of ship - does not fit in

#5 - very nice transparency - big glowing roof-line common and popular - modern

neighborhood is a mix of different sizes and shapes - modern is preferable - sets tone for future

great weather - outdoor spaces?

Security concerns - build in monitoring

Materiality

Connectivity + Axis

Civic presence

Envelope + Context

10 Warm wood is cozy

6 11

Dated

Nice for shading

7 Enter the building before physically entering

lacking soul

School is redesigned - tie in with design - do not want complete contrast

19 very visually compelling - very striking

Form + Stature

#7 - hides library - roofline similar to homes around - library should stand out - should be find-able

No buildings like these currently - hard to fit into character of neighborhood - new feel with more modern style

#2 is interesting

Approach + Experience

Roof form looks like wave
