Enlivening the community through a central and inviting place to gather, Buchan’s design for the recently opened Ipswich Central Library and Tulmur Place is imagined as a culturally expressive and inclusive space.
Cited in the centre of Ipswich, the Library and Tulmur Place connect previously disparate entities, with a lushly green and enjoyable pathway promoting safe passage, as well as providing enriching public amenity intended to cater to its diverse cultural audience. Specialised lighting and a light-art façade inject and animate the space further, extending dwell time into the evening and offering activities along Nicholas Street.
