Atherton Children's Library

Atherton, CA

Nestled among a grove of mature redwoods, this nature play library extension transforms salvaged Eucalyptus and Redwood into an immersive, tactile learning environment for children. Our team supplied Redwood paneling/siding and custom millwork, along with natural Redwood log posts - debarked, sanded, and sealed - that frame the space. A series of Eucalyptus log crossings, a log tunnel, and log benches invite hands-on exploration. Stump seating threads through the redwood grove itself, blending the built structures seamlessly into the existing landscape. The result is a nature play environment on a genuinely special site - one of the best examples of the connection between built play and native landscape that we've produced.
