New Canaan, New Library We’ve been working with Connecticut’s New Canaan Library as they develop plans for their new building.
In addition to designing capital campaign-related communication and outreach materials, we created a graphic installation for The Mirror House, a new information pavilion.
A temporary prefabricated structure, the Mirror House (a nod to New Canaan’s role in the story mid-century Modernist architecture and, of course, to Philip Johnson’s Glass House) houses informational and educational resources for the New Library initiative.
The exterior of the Mirror House features a rendering of the new library building, on which is reflected the “New Canaan, New Library” campaign theme.
Fortune smiled: Conceived before the outbreak of the COVID pandemic, the structure offers an ideal venue for small family groups to experience an isolated virtual reality tour of the new library.
The new building, designed by Centerbrook Architects, will be on the site of the existing library and will provide a new Library town green.
Smiles, everyone!
