Cast concrete arches, cherry bookcases and a stained concrete floor define the space of the reading room.



New Construction
PRIVATE LIBRARY
Austin, Texas




This is the private library of a mystery novelist.  It was built to house a growing collection of books, and to provide a quiet and inspiring place to read and work.  The design taps the classical tradition in architecture employed by Paul Crét and others - especially in the design of libraries.
