Springfield R-XII Hickory Hills Ribbon Cutting

Ryan and I snapped a few amateur photographs during the Hickory Hills Ribbon Cutting Ceremony this past Tuesday.   Below are a couple of our favorites.  With that said, we're excited for Gail to go through with her fancy camera later this month. 

Photo 1 - The primary building materials, masonry, precast and aluminum are all showcased in the main entry. The surrounding environment penetrates the building through the roof and glass storefront, while the masonry block and precast balance the overall experience inside with dark colors.

Photo 2 - Direct and diffused natural light illuminate the interior of the library. A combination of high-performance glass and translucent kalwall systems provide privacy and views for building occupants on the interior while simultaneously creating a dynamic juxtaposition of materials on the exterior.
