The library is housed in the Saint-Denys-du-Plateau church erected in 1964 by the architect Jean-Marie Roy, an iconic work of the local modern patrimonial architecture. The project is operation which must be approached with respect and humility of Saint-Denys-du-Plateau Church deserves this special consideration due to its unusual, dynamic volume, which evokes a huge tent inflated by the wind and anchored to the ground with tensioners. The objective of the project was to maintaining the original form of Roy’s church, with a glass expansion on either side effortlessly blends with the brilliant white exterior of the tented steeple, creating an illusion of the sails of a ship amongst shining ice glaciers, reflecting the light of the sun by day and twinkling from the electric inside by night. Inside, the attention to detail and use of space comes together in a clever, functional and aesthetically enticing design that is both soothing and exciting – an ideal environment for the reading, computing and study. The nave houses the library’s public functions, with shelves and work and reading areas, while the addition contains the administration and community hall. Via.
