Two narrow volumes line the stone walls of park and church, forming a route that pinches, marking a surface change from hard to soft. Internal spaces are defined by sliding screens rising to a datum height of the stone wall, where a clerestory window sits atop, allowing a strip of green to filter in. The elevated long reading room gives expansive views of trees and slit views of church, overlooking a stone square where folk meet and rest.
