The 5 story building tells a story on every floor that you enter where you can discover a library like no other in the world not only providing functional benefit of a library, but a truly engulfed experience walking throughout the building.

The top 5th floor is arguably the most appealing part of the project in which the dome shaped design offers a visually stunning perception bridging the inside of the building together with the exterior grabbing the whole scope of the building together.

Atkar worked closely with ARM architecture in the initial prototype the achieve both a functional and visual feat. The building was designed in an ideal location to host venue events and other functional meetings much to the acoustic panel architecture that the panels designed and implemented by Atkar's architectural team. The building offers guests an easy avenue to discuss and communicate without any external distractions.

The hypercube was executed from initial hexagonal acoustic panels compromised of drilled panels with a matte colour to keep an electrical and vibrant ambiance and atmosphere. The lighting and 3D cave-like design enhances the whole experience of the project.

Atkar helped throughout the whole process until the project was finished to ensure perfection with its craftsmanship at the utmost standards. Ian McDougall; Founding Director of ARM Architecture said about Atkar: "It's always good to work with people who are prepared to work throughout the whole process."
