Dattner Architects

The renovation and expansion of the Scarsdale Public Library accommodates the shifting needs of the Scarsdale community and improves the library experience, optimizing utilization of the full facility. While the flexible spaces, refreshed and re-envisioned interiors, and improved technological infrastructure are the highlights of the new library, the space also provides an expanded connection to the community it serves. Featuring an entrance plaza, a new cafe, and lobby that opens up to the library’s main collection area, daylight and views establish a strong connection from entry to exit. New programming opportunities, such as after-hours scheduling for the Technology Center and increased access of the expanded children’s area, solidify the Library as a communal hub.

As architects, we are also urban designers. Our urban design work includes master plans for large urban sites. We work with institutional, municipal, and private clients. The existing city scale, neighborhood context and materials, and the cultural characteristics of the site are each important elements which we consider when planning. Site plans are developed in response to the individual characteristics of the project area, such as density, use, topography, orientation, and access to transportation. Our work includes community outreach and often includes rezoning, resulting in development over a series of phases.

Dattner Architects’ Founding Principal Richard Dattner is featured in MIT Technology Review, where he speaks about designing the Spring Street Salt Shed and other often unnoticed elements of civic architecture structures that are essential to our daily lives.

The facility is visually integrated into the larger development through a high-performance, terra-cotta and aluminum curtain wall.

We're proud and grateful that we were able to make such positive impacts for the Marcy Hart Farm and the many people who depend on and use this space! #AIANYDayofService #urbanfarming Center for Architecture (AIANY)
