A townhouse library rebuilt as a living room for books — stone hearth, copper reading lamps, shelving that climbs.
Challenge
Too many books, too little calm. The room had become storage, not sanctuary.
Approach
Floor-to-ceiling oak and stone shelves with copper ladder rail; seating sunk toward the hearth.
Outcome
A room that invites staying — evenings measured in chapters, not screens.
Materials
- York stone
