新的威廉斯敦图书馆的建筑灵感来自于历史悠久的威廉斯敦的自然和建筑景观，海湾流动的、不断变化的水域与海墙和前滩的建筑融合。

The architecture of the new Williamstown Library is inspired by the qualities and interaction of the natural and constructed landscape of historic Williamstown where the fluid, ever changing waters of the bay are juxtaposed against the rigidity and permanence of sea walls and buildings of the foreshore.

该建筑由两个不同的元素组成。首先是一个双层高度的阅览室，其特点是半透明的聚碳酸酯墙，由细长的复合钢和木材"肋骨"支撑。这个空灵的元素被一个线性的青石脊柱所反衬，它固定了建筑，并保护柔软的阅览室不受邻近零售停车场的噪音和混乱的影响。室内包含了图书馆的展览区、辅助空间、会议室和办公室。

The building comprises two distinct elements. The first is a double height reading room featuring a translucent polycarbonate wall supported on slender composite steel and timber ‘ribs’ . This ethereal element is counter posed by a linear bluestone spine which anchors the building and protects the soft reading room from the noise and chaos of an adjacent retail car park. The bluestone spine houses the library’s exhibition area, ancillary spaces, meeting rooms and offices.

可持续发展的设计原则，如大型雨水储存罐、地板下的通风管道、高位屋顶通风器和自动窗都被纳入建筑中，以最大限度地提高自然通风、被动式太阳能性能和最大限度地减少能源和水的消耗。这个新的图书馆和相关的景观设计增加了活力，并通过一系列的大型公共平台、多个入口和与市政厅的玻璃连接，成为市政厅和邻近的零售区之间的城市桥梁，改善了这个历史街区的可及性。

Sustainable design principles such as a large rainwater storage tank, sub-floor ventilation labyrinth, high level roof ventilators and automated windows are incorporated into the architecture to maximise natural ventilation, passive solar performance and minimise energy and water consumption. This new library and associated landscape design adds vibrancy and improves accessibility to this historical precinct by acting as an urban bridge between the town hall and the adjacent retail precinct via a series of large public decks, multiple access points, and a glazed link to the town hall.
