这是由CZWG Architects设计的Canada Water图书馆。该项目位于Canada Water盆地，一个生态湖，这里曾经是运输加拿大木材的码头。建筑为倒金字塔造型的独立体块。其设计灵感是社区的珠宝，裹以浅棕色的铝制网眼片材，创建一个水纹般的立面，与盆地的水体相呼应，提供了一个满足人口日益增长的活力场所。

设计团队致力于将该图书馆发展成区域再生的催化剂，确保建筑能满足身体和心理的

无障碍设计

是本项目的关键因素。该建筑设有积极的正立面和灵活的室内空间，以满足将来的发展需求。首层设有入口，连接Canada Water地铁站的入口和一个多功能空间，以满足广场和室内外表演的容纳需求。该项目的另一个主要公共入口位于图书馆所在楼层，即二层，这个楼层四面均向外悬挑而出。该建筑，减少了首层的占地面积，优化了公共领域和视线，形成倾斜立面而面积逐层增加的建筑面积。这也有助为通透的南立面户外提供自然遮阳，以及在暖冬引入低角度的太阳光线。

The library is a freestanding object in the shape of an upside down pyramid that sits at the north end of Canada Water Basin, the ecological lake, formerly a historic dock for the import of Canadian timber. Conceived as a jewel for the community it is clad in light bronze anodized aluminium mesh-like sheets that create a water-like ripple texture across the facade that echoes the basin's water, and provides a vibrant focal point for the growing population.

Having contributed to the development of the Canada Water Masterplan, the team were very aware of the library's potential to become a catalyst for the regeneration of the area. Ensuring that the building was accessible to all without physical or psychological barriers was a key factor.The building has an active frontage and a flexible interior to accommodate future demands. The ground floor incorporates an entrance to the Canada Water underground station and a multi-functional space with the capacity to connect the building with the plaza and accommodate inside/outside performances.

The other major publicly accessible level is the library itself which is arranged on the first floor in a level that cantilevers in all directions. The building, which minimises its ground floor footprint for the benefit of the public realm and views, has sloping facades that result in an increased upper floor plan. They also provide natural solar-shading to the extensive south-facing glazing while allowing low angle solar winter-warming. The sloping rather than stepped facades reduce the ratio of wall area to volume enclosed, minimizing heat loss and maximizing the benefit of ground source heat pumps and solar panels.The building, which achieved a very high 'Very Good' BREEAM rating, has continued to be monitored to develop an understanding of the operational energy performanc
