Free Library

-LAM PARTNERS-

The Free Library of Philadelphia, housed in a 90-year-old Beaux Arts structure in Logan Square, is undergoing an interior renovation with the goal of bringing the structure to its original grandeur while also developing new public spaces for the library of the twenty-first century. The Architect’s vision of a trellis ceiling comes to life with custom direct/indirect fixtures, integrated within the existing beams of the ceiling. Fitting between non-symmetrical beam spacings, the light fixtures create a grand gesture of a pattern that extends from the main reading room all the way through to the meeting rooms and study areas along the building's perimeter, as well as throughout all floors of the library.
