Overview
The BKV Group-designed Howard Lake Library is a groundbreaking project representing a new era in sustainable library design. Located in the heart of Minnesota's Upper Midwest, this innovative facility is the first net-zero library in the region.
As a leader in the home and garden interior design industry, Granite Interiors is proud to have been a part of this remarkable project. The library showcases our commitment to sustainability, functionality, and aesthetics.
Sustainable Design
The Howard Lake Library stands as a testament to the power of sustainable design. From the initial planning stages, our team worked closely with BKV Group to incorporate a wide range of green building practices and technologies.
Solar panels line the roof, harnessing the abundant sunlight to power the library's electrical needs. Advanced insulation and energy-efficient HVAC systems ensure optimal energy performance throughout the year. The library also features rainwater harvesting and natural ventilation strategies to minimize water and energy consumption.
Interior Features
Granite Interiors was responsible for designing the stunning interior space of the Howard Lake Library. Our team of talented designers carefully selected materials and furnishings that reflect both the library's commitment to sustainability and the unique needs of its patrons.
The library boasts an open and inviting floor plan, with an abundance of natural light streaming through strategically placed windows. Comfortable seating areas, study pods, and quiet reading nooks create a welcoming atmosphere for visitors of all ages.
Using our expertise in home and garden interior design, we incorporated environmentally friendly materials throughout the space. Recycled wood and reclaimed granite countertops add a touch of elegance and sustainability. Energy-efficient lighting fixtures ensure the library remains bright and inviting while reducing energy consumption.
