Backyard-Inspired Libraries

A Cozy Library Built by 3rdSpace in a Backyard

Invite yourself for a cozy reading in your own backyard with this new form of modern libraries. A library built by 3rdSpace is located in England’s Oxfordshire garden. This modular library studio takes reading to a whole new comfort zone as a visual experience.

The library structure was designed to move and dismantle itself if the homeowner were to relocate in the future. Its exterior is built clad in black Thermowood and glass, along with white-tinted birch plywood within the interior. This installation only took five days, adding much convenience for the homeowner inspired by modern libraries. For those who love reading and seek extra space for their book collection, this would be the perfect home renovation project for a large property.
