Ballard is one of the trendiest neighborhood in Seattle now but the roots come from Scandinavia and steadfast maritime tradition. Fortunately, green-roofed Library Ballard bridge the two aspects of light capture the beautiful design. Hero of this story is a big gable that takes on the quality of the hill. The green roof swept the building and extends around the perimeter of the library to provide shelter from the weather. Sunlight floods the interior and harvested to feed solar electricity panels that line the roof.
The salient features of the architecture of Northwestern exposed to heavy glue-lams or wood beam supports and forming a roof and this project by architect Bohlin Cywinski Jackson does not disappoint with the use of architectural details. Its sweeping profile adds a soft green character to the environment. Columns and purloins feel a little like a forest. The roof consists of 18,000 low-water plantings that library visitors can see up close through the "roof periscope" near thethe cash register . Green roofs absorb a large amount of rainwater in the city of rain, reducing stress on the city runs out. The roof also helps maintain the temperature and increase biodiversity in some environments.

Sweep of the roof helps the building in several important ways. The overhang extended to add the entrance to welcome and shelter inland. The roof also increased dramatically to the north, making a soft indirect light to flood the interior. This not only makes for more comfortable reading environment but needed to reduce lighting and cooling. A generous skylights add to the installation of lighting profiles. Under the northwest corner is a round steel shingled community room that adds bright contrast to the outside of the timber.
17 sets of solar panels at the north end shows the potential of PV and sharing space with a large array of roof sensors measure weather conditions that feed an art house-in, displays the interpretation of measurements on the LED screen.
