The small town of Viby in Denmark has gained a culture house and library – a living room for the town. The overall architectural concept of the culture house is that the building is a place for hangouts, as well as a shortcut to the urban space of the town. To achieve this, the social zones and the openness of the architecture play a key role. On the ground floor hosts, citizen services, a café, and a flex room for workshops. Thus, ensuring an open and dynamic space with synergy between the different activities of the house and easy access for the town’s citizens. The library is located on the first floor of the culture house. It is designed as an interconnected open floor with all spaces linked together. Here, the library sections, targeting adults, children, and tweens, are placed near the local historical archive of the town. A central feature uniting the two floors is the double-height space, which allows visitors to get a sense of the life in the entire house.
