An ambitious new library and events center designed by David Adjaye opened to the public in Winter Park, Florida on Saturday, December 11. The $41.7 million complex consists of three structures, elevated on a podium, overlooking a small lake at the corner of Martin Luther King, Jr. Park in the Orlando suburb. The two-story library, an adjacent events building with a roof terrace, and an arrival pavilion, each rose-tinted concrete, are designed with dramatic structural arches and outwardly canted walls. Large windows bring in natural light and connect visually to the surrounding park.
