Architectural Staircase Bookshelves

The 'Book Tower House' Flaunts an Amazingly Unique Design

— January 18, 2014 — Art & Design
The 'Book Tower House' project shows the world how it's done when it comes to rustic, brainy and impressive bookshelf designs.

Nestled in a Victorian mid-terraced house in London, this bookworms' wooden haven was designed by Platform 5 Architects to highlight the home owners love for the written word. With such an extensive collection of books, the inventive architects not only built a library for the book lover, they created a double-height wooden oak book tower library wrapped around the vintage staircase.

Designed in the center of the house -- with built-in spotlights on each shelf to highlight each title -- this contemporary and arts-and-crafts-inspired bookshelf design leads to a study with a built-in desk. Yes, it was all thought out. You just find the book you want to cuddle with and take a seat.
Trend Themes
1. Architectural Bookshelf Designs - Homeowners are seeking unique and impressive bookshelf designs that can double as a work of art, creating an opportunity for architects and interior designers to showcase their creativity and innovation.
2. Multi-functional Interior Design - The combination of a built-in desk and a double-height book tower library highlights the trend of multi-functional interior design, providing homeowners with a space-saving and efficient solution.
3. Custom Home Libraries - With the rise of home collections and e-readers, the demand for custom home libraries is on the rise, creating opportunities for architects and interior designers to create innovative and personalized designs that reflect each homeowner's unique style and needs.
Industry Implications
1. Architecture - Architects can use this trend to showcase their creativity and innovation when designing custom home libraries that serve as both functional and artistic elements of the home.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can leverage the trend of multi-functional interior design to create personalized spaces that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
3. Furniture Design - As the trend for unique and impressive bookshelf designs grows, furniture designers can develop new and innovative designs that cater to the needs of book lovers while also serving as artful pieces of furniture.
