新建的分支图书馆附近为高端零售及豪华住宅，满足了该地急需的公共空间并成为当地社区和来访游客前往现代艺术博物馆的试金石。尽管该图书馆所在地主要位于水平以下，是一栋新建的40层楼高酒店的基地，该设计提议将地下黑暗的空间转变为曼哈顿中心一个温馨、开放、明亮的城市景观。
In a neighborhood of high-end retail and luxury residences, this new branch library will fulfill a much needed role as a public space and touchstone for the local community and visiting tourists across from the Museum of Modern Art.  Despite the library’s site being predominantly below grade and set at the base of a new 40-story hotel, this design proposal transforms the dark, subterranean space into an inviting, open and light-filled civic landscape in the heart of Manhattan.

该分支图书馆并没有在正面选用标志着纽约公共图书馆（New York Public Library）的标示而突出其机构的特点。相反，该建筑的正面采用适度的材料，完全看不见从而展现了一种动态的公共空间和室内街景，并创建了创新的方式以实现丰富的纹理色调和表达。
The branch library’s identity is not put forth by an iconic facade symbolizing the New York Public Library as an institution.  Instead, the façade disappears completely to reveal a dynamic public space and internal streetscape utilizing modest materials in innovative ways to create a rich palette of texture and expression.

三个楼层的地形连接方式不仅在规划中最深的角落营造了光明和景观，还为人们提供了无尽的机会以互动和启发。对于书籍、艺术和技术的开放设计和整合展现了一个方便、直观的景观，提供了宽阔的公共及私人空间，让我们意识到构建社区的唯一方式就是依靠个人的存在。
The topography connects the three floors in a way that not only brings light and views to the deepest corners of the plan, but provides endless opportunities for interaction and enlightenment.  The adaptable open plan and integration of books, art and technology engage the occupant by providing an accessible, intuitive landscape offering a wide spectrum of public and private spaces, recognizing that the only way to build a community is by empowering the individual.
