A variety of options were evaluated including: a remodel and expansion to the existing library, new construction on a new lot, and a tenant improvement to an existing building. The rendering above represents a tenant improvement option that utilizes a vacant office complex located in a high traffic area of town. New materials and a new vaulted entry transform the existing office complex into a modern library. Several new courtyards were created by taking advantage of the existing building footprint.

Description
This 1886 dairy barn has been an icon in Edna Valley for over 150 years. The conversion of the 5,530 s.f. barn to an event space required building code upgrades. Fire sprinklers, structural modifications, emergency lighting, and accessibility were modernized while preserving the architectural character of the space. The filtered light streaming through the vertical board siding provides a dramatic backdrop for interior events up to 300 people. Larger events featuring Edna Valley views can be accommodated on the property.
