Butternut Library
Columns of the bookcases are stylized flowers to bring some harmony between the interior space and the exterior garden located outside the windows.
Splayed side panels at the windows increase the visual sense of the windows size and the room's depth. Shelves are fully adjustable and thick enough to hold heavy books. Note the added integrated base vents for the AC system. The coffered ceiling unites the room by inserting a logic to the “L” floor plan. Design and detail are hallmarks of the craftsmanship from Jaeger and Ernst. Design for small spaces can be extremely beautiful when design is serious and imaginitive coupled with dedicated craftsmanship. We should not allow our spaces to be mundane but instead seek to enrich our lives with an experience of everyday beauty.
