The Sainte-Anne Primary School, in the Rosemont district, wanted to transform its current library into a space where children could certainly read, but also dream and learn!
Several custom storage systems were designed to maximize the possibilities of the small library. All spaces were designed to stimulate interest in books and showcase them. The design now offers a multitude of distinct zones to meet different needs such as reading and research, but also to promote connection with oneself or with the group.
Children can therefore choose their preferred location according to the type of activities, such as working in a group around the central island, settling in to read in the podium cabin or terrace area, or holding a team meeting in the work cabin. A storage space has been transformed into a reading nook, and the house-shaped window overlooking the corridor allows students to greet and interact with each other.
The coloring in soft, comforting tones inspires calm, and the shapes on the walls reinforce the cadence of the furniture's gables. The graphics create a window to nature that inspires escape and contemplation.
