Victoria Point Library

Print This Article

The new Victoria Point Library in Moreton Bay, Queensland is a significant local gathering point and community facility.

The collaborative process between the Redland Shire Council Library Team and the designers challenged the community's perceptions of a traditional library.

The library provides a 'focal point' meeting place for people of all ages. The region is rapidly growing region and thus the fitout was designed to be as flexible as possible. It provides 'clean canvas' space that is adaptable to exhibitions, themed events and book promotions, as well as normal public library services.

The community focus is depicted through the use of graphics, creating a strong link to the local environs. The local creek and bay islands are replicated in the flooring in simple forms and the dynamic waterway band island 'discs' provide direction to the various library sections. Other local imagery, including wildlife, flora and iconic historic landmarks, are also represented in glazing film artwork panels.

The introduction of interactive elements such as seating booths with music listening posts, café, magnetic blackboard walls and acrylic convex mirrors, all play a part in engaging the community.

GHD interior designers’ scope included developing the project brief, space planning, contract documentation, contract administration and coordinating with the base-building contractors during construction.
