<\/a>Photo:\u00a0Ricardo Bofill,\u00a0Taller de Arquitectura<\/a><\/em><\/p>\nDespite its homey-quality, this loft-style library is part of an office building converted from an old cement factory in Barcelona, Spain. The tenants are also the designers:\u00a0Taller de Arquitectura.<\/p>\n
Part of a\u00a0penthouse that occupies the top two stories of New York’s\u00a0Dietz Lantern Building in Tribeca. You can own this library and the four rooms that come with it for\u00a0$22 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n Who would have an overhead circular library custom built in their home? Real-life Indiana Jones and National Geographic\u00a0explorer-in-residence Wade Davis<\/a>, of course.<\/p>\n A look at designer Jessica\u00a0Helgerson’s 540-square-foot Tiny House<\/a>, located on\u00a0Sauvie Island in the Columbia River, just 15 minutes from Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n This library in Lviv, Ukraine is part of the famed House of Scientists, designed by Fellner & Helmer<\/a> in the\u00a0late 19th century. Today the building serves a venue for cultural, political and scientific conferences. You can take\u00a0a virtual tour here<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is renowned fashion designer\u00a0Karl Lagerfeld’s scholarly\u00a0living room. We’re suckers for spiral staircases.<\/p>\n This space in South Korea’s\u00a0Panorama House is at once a staircase, library and playroom for the kids. It was designed by\u00a0architect Moon Hoon and previously featured in our look at the ever-popular indoor slide trend<\/a>.<\/p>\n From our indoor-outdoor room series<\/a>, Fernanda Marques\u2019\u00a0Loft 24\/7 has a glorious outdoor office and reading nook you want to sit in right now.<\/p>\n Staying with the outdoor theme, we’re also fond of the\u00a0Hackney Shed<\/a>\u00a0library conversion project by Office Sian Architecture.<\/p>\n Vaulted ceilings? Yes, please.<\/p>\n The books are obviously just for show, but the color contrast is still a nice touch.<\/p>\n Organizing by author is a tad uninspiring. But color-coding your bookshelf? Now that’s something.<\/p>\n Spiral staircase? Check. Two stories of reading material? Check. Four legged companion? Check. Oddly placed, chest-high window? Check.<\/p>\n Again, we’ll give any room with a spiral staircase some love.<\/p>\n Because which room in the house, besides the bathroom, do you do the most reading?<\/p>\n You know, in case you can’t fit all your books on your e-reader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":84623,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11269],"tags":[],"coauthors":[10332],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"home](\"https:\/\/www.livabl.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/home-library-loft-2-1024x682.jpg\")
