STUDIOS was selected by the City of San Jose to design Evergreen Library, part of a public bond-funded group of city branch libraries. The architecture of the new one-story library—sited adjacent to a public park amid a largely residential area—conveys a distinguished civic presence without disrupting the scale of neighboring structures.
