Tree Canopy-Inspired Facade at Everton Park Library | Project

Located in Brisbane’s Everton Park, the newly opened 1,100 sqm library stands as a vibrant cultural hub that harmoniously blends urban living with the surrounding natural beauty. Designed by Bureau Proberts Architects and constructed by Premis Solutions, the library embodies a commitment to sustainability, community, and heritage.

Sculptform’s Blackbutt Wood Finish Aluminium cladding enhances the building’s design, adding both warmth and durability while reflecting the region’s rich timber milling history. Completed in 2024, this eco-conscious space offers a welcoming environment for the community to gather and connect.

Key Tree Features

The combination of Sculptform’s cladding in both flat and block profiles allows the library’s exterior to visually reference natural and structural elements alike. The facade’s triangular block pattern mimics tree canopy geometry, while the soffit’s flat profile adds refinement and balance. Together, these elements give the library a distinct identity, blending the textures and grains of timber with the longevity of aluminium.

Technical and Environmental Considerations

Sculptform’s Click-on Cladding is expertly engineered to meet the library’s aesthetic and environmental goals. Constructed from weather-resistant aluminium profiles with a high fire rating, the cladding enhances the building’s thermal and acoustic performance. The chosen Series 1 and Series 2 profiles were selected to suit the library’s unique geometry, offering a seamless fit while ensuring minimal maintenance over time—perfectly balancing both form and function.

The library also integrates eco-conscious systems, including energy-efficient lighting and a rainwater filtration system. Sculptform’s durable, low-maintenance cladding complements these sustainability initiatives, reducing resource use and long-term maintenance requirements.

Celebrating Heritage and Sustainability

Everton Park Library is a resilient, functional, and inviting community hub. The design honours local heritage while embracing modern sustainable practices, with Sculptform’s cladding contributing to the building’s distinctive facade. This project showcases how thoughtful design, and high-quality materials can create lasting public spaces that resonate with the community.
