Indian Creek Library – innovative use of materials and collaboration between architects
The Indian Creek Library in Olathe, Kansas is a project that showcases the collaboration between architects belonging to Group 4 Architects and Gould Evans (MultiStudio).
The library stands out for its unique design and innovative use of materials, particularly in the interior architectural elements. The standout feature of the interior design is the use of Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate panels.
Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate is a material that offers numerous benefits over traditional building materials. It is a thermoplastic material that is lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to impact. This makes it ideal for use in high-traffic areas where it is essential to maintain the appearance of the building over time. The UV satin finish on the panels provides a soft, satin glow to the interior, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
One of the primary benefits of using Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate panels in the Indian Creek Library is their ability to provide abundant natural light into the space. The panels allow maximum light transmission, illuminating the interior and creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The natural light creates a positive and uplifting environment for library patrons, making their visit a more enjoyable experience.
Another key advantage of the Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate panels is their versatility in design. They can be formed into different shapes and sizes, making them suitable for a wide range of architectural applications. In the Indian Creek Library, the panels were used in a variety of ways, including as partitions, columns, and ceiling panels. This versatility allows the architects to create unique and visually appealing interior elements, adding to the overall aesthetic of the building.
The Indian Creek Library project demonstrates the benefits of using Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate panels as a material of choice for interior architectural elements. The panels provide an abundance of natural light, durability, and versatility in design, making them a practical and attractive option for modern building design. The collaboration between Group 4 Architects and Gould Evans has resulted in a library that is not only functional, but also visually appealing, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for library patrons.
The Indian Creek Library project is a testament to the innovative use of materials and collaboration between architects. The use of Air-board UV Satin polycarbonate panels has contributed to the creation of a unique and visually stunning building, making it a standout example of modern library design.
AIR-board® UV Satin standard colors panels come in three honeycomb core options and semi-opaque polycarbonate facing sheets. These lightweight satin color panels combined with core design offer many daylighting and optical features. The panels made of high-quality thermoplastics can be used in many different ways in interior architecture and can be designed individually in colour and shape.
