Paramount Library

Location: Paramount, California

Client: Los Angeles County Library

Originally built in 1966, the Paramount Library remained largely untouched as a design relic of past decades. Since then, the city has championed funding for the renovation of the Paramount Library with massive support from the community. The new renovations include a community meeting room, group study rooms, and administrative offices. Tailored to the needs of the community, the library serves its members through offering increased technological access, a variety of seating and spaces, and modern amenities.

The transformative design features elements such as a hydroponic wall, a sculptural entry desk, and communal areas. Designated spaces throughout the library offer every age group a place of belonging and further engages the community.  The interior highlights an inviting, warm color palette through its furnishings and finishes. The hydroponic wall located near the entrance serves as a welcoming feature while a series of light fixtures replicating skylights brighten the space through swatches of light.
