Town of Atherton

Public Library and Civic Center

01 | Overview

We helped WRNS Studio submit the Town of Atherton Civic Center and Library project to awards, focusing on the library design. Starting from scratch, we heavily researched the project to pull pertinent data. This encompassed scouring public records, Q&A with project team members, reading through scores of documents, and doing a competitive analysis of similar projects to come up with a cohesive, fact-based narrative.

02 | Results

Each award submission required intensive research, fact-checking, and providing impactful insights to shape the narratives. As a result of our efforts, the project won several awards.
