Providence Montessori Elementary needed to create more classroom space without building an addition onto their existing building.  As a solution, we turned their existing library into a classroom and transformed a nearby room into a flexible space that is part library, recourse storage and multi-purpose.  In order to maximize space we designed and fabricated mobile library storage.  This inventive furniture design now allows the library to transform into a play area for an after-school program.  Containers for books fold away to reveal containers for play.  Asa  nod to Providence Montessori’s logo, a custom tree chandelier defines the libraries central reading area.  Carved into the tree are fifty rings to commemorate this schools 50th anniversary.
