格伦奥克斯分图书馆占地18000平方英尺，位于郊外小规模商业区，是一座能源与环境设计先锋奖认证的高性能建筑。图书馆内部除了阅览室外还有一个数据中心和公共会谈区。大楼有两个主要分区，较低分区的高度是较高分区的一半。大楼入口在较高分区的旁边，大楼的三排大玻璃窗使阳光能够照到阅览室后面的阅读区。景观规划利用作为户外公共空间的地面的双重角色将其反向设计为下面地窖的屋顶,探索设计技巧和自然之间的关系。地上建筑的结构和材料是按照每一面的不同地点的条件去设计和安排的，而图书馆内部包括三层楼的阅览室都是开放性自由设计。在大楼正面的大型落地窗使二楼儿童区内外双向可视,同时也满足图书馆向北社区公民认同的愿望。其他外部材料包括通道玻璃墙和纤维水泥板镶板使图书馆及其周边住宅相连接。

Glen Oaks Branch Library was designed to replace an existing one story facility with a new 18,000 sf, high performance,certified building located at the juncture of a low scale commercial/institutional area with a suburban residential neighborhood. The program includes reading rooms on all three levels, a cybercenter, and community meeting spaces.As the building area required is double that allowable by zoning, half of the interior spaces are placed below grade. A double-height space adjacent to the building entry and three strip skylights in the plaza bring light through a contoured ceiling to define more specific reading areas in the reading room below.

The landscape strategy takes into account the ground surface’s dual role as an outdoor public space and its inversion as the roof of the cellar below, exploring the relationship between artifice and nature.The above grade massing and material treatment responds to the very different site conditions on each elevation, while the interior library spaces are open plans with reading rooms on all three levels.A large picture-window along the front elevation provides views into and out of the second floor children’s area, while also satisfying the Library’s desire to provide a civic identity to the community. Other exterior materials merge the scale of the library and its residential adjacencies including channel glazing and fiber cement board paneling.
