The K.O. Lee Aberdeen Public Library in Aberdeen, South Dakota, showcases a thoughtful blend of materiality and design, integrating Pure + FreeForm’s finishes throughout the exterior. The entrance canopy is clad in Miele Maple, a warm woodgrain finish that adds natural richness and a welcoming tone to the building’s facade. Complementing the warmth of the canopy are sleek metallic finishes, Frozen Hairline and Oxidized Silver, used on the exterior cladding and soffits. These finishes introduce a cool contrast with subtle pearlescence and texture, reflecting light throughout the day and enhancing the building’s contemporary civic identity. The combination of wood-inspired and metal surfaces highlights a balance of warmth and modernity, aligning with the library’s role as both a community gathering space and a forward-thinking institution.
