The shell is centuries old — stone vaults, arched light, the weight of a chapel. The intervention is freestanding, modular, one colour: a saturated blue, dropped in like furniture at architectural scale.
Nothing new touches the architecture. Remove the blue, and the room returns to exactly what it was.
Competition concept — Woodeco, Interior of the year (Distinction, Public Interiors) Build the world a material deserves, and it sells itself. This library is that idea, applied inside a chapel.
Blue shelving units form a maze inside the vault — reading walls, storage, a work desk — organising an open hall without altering it.
Each function gets its own material against the blue: a reading niche in Dąb Windmill Miodowy honey oak, a rust-toned desk and chairs for work, a red velvet sofa and raw stone table for sitting, a stone window bench left exactly as found.
"One colour organises the room. Everything else marks where it slows down."
Oakridge Courtyard House represents a thoughtful blend of adaptability, comfort, and nature-driven design.
