纳奈莫的北部分支图书馆项目位于纳奈莫的北部尽头，这个图书馆是为了满足大众的急切需要而修建的。项目工程包括对温哥华岛区域图书馆拥有和运营的原始中央服务大楼的现代化和翻修建设，温哥华岛区域图书馆找爱温哥华岛上一共有38个图书馆分支。原始建筑物位于哈蒙德海湾路北侧的一面上，这是一块天然的、树木繁茂的场址，树林中的树木主要是花旗松和松树，原始建筑物的两侧草木丛生，在原始建筑物东边有一个一层楼的消防站，原始建筑物的背面，即北部是一个原始的老年公寓综合设施。

项目的设计和翻修的灵感来源于围绕着场址的壮丽的树木。这样的设计和翻修也是为了与大自然的美连接在一起，并和在白天穿过松树林而来的阳光产生共鸣。我们的目的是通过将穿过树林而来的阳光引进建筑物的深处从而拥抱自然，并在分支图书馆的基础上就可以看见被保留下来的树木的风景。在建筑物内部，我们使用了大量花旗松制作而成的柱子和梁，还有坚固的花旗松甲板区支撑图书馆中基本的公共聚集空间，花旗松在不列颠哥伦比亚省是一种很多产的原料，花旗松的使用向游客们展示了珍贵的自然资源的力量和美。
The Nanaimo North Branch Library project serves to establish a much needed new branch library in the north end of Nanaimo and modernize & reinvigorate the existing Central Services building owned and operated by the Vancouver Island Regional Library, which services its 38 library branches across Vancouver Island. The building is situated on the north side of Hammond Bay Road on a naturally wooded site, defined by significant douglas fir and pine trees, and is flanked by a forested lot to the west, a one storey Fire Hall to the east and backs on to an existing Seniors Housing complex to the north.

Inspiration for the design and renovation of this building was derived from the majestic trees that surround and occupy the site; to connect with the natural beauty that resonates as the sunlight filters through the fir trees throughout the day. The aim was to embrace our connection to nature by capturing the filtered daylight deep into the heart of the build- ing and allow views, from base to limb, of the very trees being preserved. Internally, the building incorporates substantial douglas fir glue-lam columns & beams and solid fir decking, harvested and produced in BC, to support the primary public gathering spaces in the library, signifying to the visitor the strength and beauty of this valued natural resource.
