The renovation of the 3rd floor of Croydon Library by Rashad Al-Karooni Studio will transform the space into a vibrant, modern hub that blends functionality with a welcoming atmosphere. The redesigned floor will features a state-of-the-art digital archive, providing accessible storage for the library’s extensive collections and historical records. Thoughtfully curated quiet study areas offer patrons peaceful environments for research and focus, while new, fully equipped meeting rooms accommodate collaborative work and community events.

This facility will serve as a critical hub for residents seeking housing advice, assistance, and solutions. The aim is to create a welcoming, accessible environment where members of the public can engage directly with council staff to explore housing options, resolve housing issues, and receive guidance on tenancy matters.

The CMT Office was envisioned as a sophisticated and functional environment that reflects the professionalism of Southwark Council’s leadership. By reconfiguring the existing layout, we aimed to foster collaboration while providing spaces for focused work, meetings, and strategic discussions.
