Homewood Public Library Renovation & Expansion

City of Homewood

In 1996 Davis Architects was tasked with converting an existing church building into a modern public library. In addition to renovating interior spaces, the exterior of the church was redesigned to conceal the telltale signs of church architecture. The addition takes advantage of strong, playful shapes and glass to complement, while at the same time to downplay the geometry of the old church. The result is a modern collection of forms that work together to create a cohesive public center that welcomes the community. In 2020 Davis Completed a new computer lab addition to Homewood Public Library. Adding approximately 3,000 SF that included computer lab room, study rooms offices and storage.
