El recibidor y la biblioteca de Villa Paz sin tabiques de separación.

Combined hall and study??

English translation:open-plan
Explanation:
The open-plan hall and library at Villa Paz

The entrance hall rises three levels up to show the library’s internal configuration and the layering of floors. The wooden fenestration filters daylight, creating a rhythmic pattern of light on the stone floor. Curvaceous stairwells show the dynamic flow of people through the building. The generous open-plan spaces ensure the library can be adapted to future needs.

Upon entering the library, visitors are welcomed into an open plan hall that contains an information kiosk, a reading room, a curved magazine rack, and a children’s area. other more separate spaces include a multipurpose reading room, meeting rooms, a nursery room, and offices. meanwhile, an upper level accommodates additional reading and study areas with an archive also housed on site.
