Can a small village have a modern library?
In Halič, we set out to prove that it can – and should. We designed the village library interior to be a place where visitors want to linger, not just pass through. Clean design and thoughtful functionality guided the process, with simple yet efficient wooden shelves maximizing the limited space to house the entire collection.
Natural materials – wood, linoleum, and wood wool ceiling panels – were chosen to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The result is more than just a place to store books; it’s a calm and cozy environment that encourages reading, reflection, and connection. Today, the library is not only a reading space but a true community hub at the heart of village life.
