Carroll School Library


Our design for the new library at The Carroll School, a public elementary school in Brooklyn, was part of a collaboration with the parents and school administrators who collectively participated in the project’s programming and fundraising. We created an abstract solar system pattern in the natural linoleum flooring and our custom designed furniture is a playful juxtaposition of curves. New technology components were added to foster class presentations and research: rolling bookshelves allow for larger school gatherings and dance classes, and a vibrant palette of materials reflects the spirit and warmth of a learning environment.
