Jury comments: The architect brings an extraordinary level of detailing, materiality, and elevation to one of the last truly public-facing, accessible places: the library. The light touch of an addition goes beyond respecting the existing H. H. Richardson library–it celebrates the historic building, framing it in a way that newly reveals its brilliance and beauty. The work also restores logic and luster to the H. H. Richardson interior. This project is a true investment in community space.
