CREATING A SPACE FOR LEARNING and knowledge within this custom home was important to the client. Marked by rich wood, classical molding, a coffered ceiling, and custom glass enclosures, the 1,000-square-foot library preserves rare books and other collectors’ items, offering a quiet place for conversation or intellectual rejuvenation. Elongated dormers and a tower of clerestory windows allow natural light to stream into the space.
