Informed by its #site and a towering fir tree, this #home balances #openness & privacy. Light-filled social #spaces define the main space Floor-to-ceiling #windows invite the #outdoors in. Upstairs, calm and #comfort reign in the private #bedrooms, each positioned for maximum #daylight and #views.

"From the outside, it looks like a fairly standard apartment building. Inside, it’s clearly different: The friends who invested in the project each made their own choices about how they wanted their own apartment to look." - @fastcompany.com www.fastcompany.com/91334548/in-...

In Seattle, a group of friends wanted to live together—so they built their own apartment building

Eleven families joined together to create a new development filled with shared space.

What do license plates, a visual #dictionary, and a #greenwall have in common? Well, at the #BellevueLibrary, part of @kcls.bsky.social, they create unique #publicart and enhance the #sustainability of the #library #expansion & #parkinggarage JA designed for the district in 2013.

Trump’s trying to gut funding for libraries: you can fight back with ALA. The President's executive order to dismantle the Institute of Museum & Library Services would be deeply harmful. We need to speak out. Take action NOW: tell Congress to protect library funding. bit.ly/ProtectLibraryFunding

📚 It's National Library Week! 📚 NLB is an annual #celebration highlighting the valuable role #libraries and #library professionals play in #transforming lives and strengthening our #communities. #SHOWUP! Pictured: #Winthrop Library, made possible by @fowlwinthropwa.bsky.social 📷 by Lara Swimmer

Large wooden barn doors at entry of a library. Four children stand outside the doors.

Modern wooden building, similar to an old hay barn, sits in a meadow with a sunrise above.

Interior of a library with wooden ceiling and exposed rafters. One person sits in a window seat reading a book, another sits in a bean bag chair. A sign above the window seat says "Young Adults". Bookcases surround the area.

Orange, modern versions of wingback chairs sit in a circle in a library. Bright sunshine pours in through large windows. A wood burning stove is in front of the window. A man sits in a chair reading the newspaper.
