Bookshelf Staircase

Posted by Alex in Architecture, Book & Lit on February 22, 2008 at 1:51 am


Tom Sloan at Levitate Architects came up with a neat solution to a storage problem in this London Victorian apartment:

We created a ’secret’ staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client’s desire for a library to form a ‘library staircase’ in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books.

    Brilliant idea. Good thing you don't get many earthquakes in England.

    So awesome. That would be a dream. Just be sure to have them in alphabetical order!

    Argh! I would LOVE to have a staircase like this. Currently all my books are either in a cardboard box or in a tiny shelf that I shares its space with the DVDs I have.
