Brooklyn-based practice Studio Shea has completed a metal-clad library with a central atrium that draws on the civic and industrial context of its site in South Carolina, USA.

Clinton Public Library serves a railroad junction town of less than 8,000 residents.
The 11,000-square-foot (1,021-square metre) library translates the vernacular porch feature as well as the town's agricultural and textile manufacturing heritage into a contemporary public building, Justin Shea, founder of Studio Shea, told Dezeen.
“At its core, the project was conceived as a welcoming community living room,” Shea said.
Set on 1.25 acres, the building’s scale and massing respond to its surrounding residential context in view of the town’s downtown corridor.
