Private Library

Private Library
May 2008

A small, private library was the goal here. The entrance can be found near the center. The space is very open with floor to ceiling shelving attached to the walls; they can hold at least 500 books. There is a fireplace, desk, and other furniture on the right side of the structure, the exposed side, with lots of natural light penetrating the space. The left is subdued, raised by a small staircase and pulled away from the books. This small space gives room for a bed or futon, armoire, bathroom. This side's natural light comes mainly from narrower windows and clerestories. The model posted here is the left, private section of the structure.
