The new library building is designed as a central meeting point for the community of Lensahn. With its clear and compact structure, the new two-storey building blends naturally into its surroundings. The shape and color scheme borrow from the old town hall and the neighboring church, allowing the building volume to blend harmoniously into its surroundings. Along Sundstrasse, a small forecourt is defined by means of a setback and supports the creation of an address. The large library hall opens up to this forecourt with inviting glass surfaces, runs through the entire building and connects to the church garden at the rear.
