Shortlisted for rebirth project of the year at Dezeen Awards 2020, Steimle Architekten has converted a former barn into a municipal library and community centre in Germany.

The building features glazed openings that are screened by angled vertical louvres to diffuse daylight into the library.

The former agricultural building is located in the centre of Kressbronn, close to the village's town hall and festival hall.
