Dear Maria Popescu,

Your library design proposal reflects a thoughtful approach to creating a community hub where people can come together to spend time productively. The concept of a bright yet discreet space, hidden from the street view, is an excellent way to provide a peaceful and focused environment for learning, away from the distractions of urban life. It’s a clever strategy to ensure that the library serves as an oasis for the community.

As an experienced architect, I would recommend considering the inclusion of natural elements within the interior, such as indoor plants or green walls, to further enhance the calming atmosphere. Additionally, pay attention to the flexibility of the layout, allowing for both quiet study areas and spaces for more interactive community activities. Thoughtful acoustics and light control will also ensure that the space remains comfortable for all users throughout the day.

Best of luck with your studies and your future architectural career!
