SERVICE
Libraries & StudiesThe owner counted the books by height before we drew a single bay. Folios on the lowest shelves, octavos at eye level, and a run of shallow shelves for records above the door.
Panelling conceals radiators, cabling and the door to the study. The ladder runs on a brass rail let into the cornice, so the rail reads as a line rather than a fixture.

“Every book has a shelf that fits it. I did not know that was possible.”
