“Brisbane, California got a brand-new library last fall, one that acts more like a living room. Designed, in a one-off collaboration, by Siegel & Strain Architects and Karin Payson Architecture + Design, it is a layered communal space that balances apparent contradictions: It fits into its context and stands out at the same time. It brings the outdoors inside and draws the indoors out. It even allows visitors to be alone, in public—to sit in a space that feels private, but with the possibility of having chance encounters.” - Metropolis

Karin Payson proudly shared this Metropolis feature and added, "We at KPa+d are very proud of our recently-completed library for the city of Brisbane, CA.  Public libraries are a very special part of our very diverse practice, which includes an array of projects for private and non-profit clients. And further still: We’re Hiring!"
