The Long Beach Bay Shore Library Modernization is a redesign project focused on improving accessibility and aesthetics at a waterfront facility. The main goal is to create an ADA-compliant ramp that ensures seamless access for all users while integrating the structure with the site's natural surroundings. The project features a detailed layout of ramp options, floor plans, and elevations, offering multiple design solutions based on site-specific needs.



Key design elements include day and night renderings to visualize how the ramp will look and function under different lighting conditions. These visuals highlight both functionality and aesthetic appeal, ensuring a positive user experience at all times. Elevation views provide critical guidance for construction, blending practicality with an attractive visual presence.



Deliverables include comprehensive floor plans, multiple ramp designs, and visualizations that enhance the overall look and feel of the Bay Shore environment. This redesign is a step toward modernizing the area, promoting accessibility, and improving public engagement through a more user-friendly infrastructure.
