Stairs/ Bookshelf // Levitate Architects
London-based Levitate Architects came up with this ingenious solution to a book storage problem and created a loft-like bedroom nestled under the roof of the top-floor apartment.
Here’s what Tim Sloan from Levitate Architects has to say about the project:
‘The flat occupies part of the shared top floor of an existing Victorian mansion block. Our proposal extended the flat into the unused loft space above, creating a new bedroom level and increasing the floor area of the flat by approximately one third. We created a ’secret’ staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client’s desire for a library to form a ‘library staircase’ in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books. With a skylight above lighting the staircase, it becomes the perfect place to stop and browse a tome. The stair structure was designed as an upside down ’sedan chair’ structure (with Rodrigues Associates, Structural Engineers, London) that carries the whole weight of the stair and books back to the main structural walls of the building. It dangles from the upper floor thereby avoiding any complicated neighbour issues with the floors below.’
Great Site! Personally I love mine new carpet runner. It’s a great first impression to people visiting to my place. And they are very soft to walk on! Never again do I have to sense the pain of walking on cold stairs in the morning. It also dampens the sound created from walking on it! I highly advise everyone to get one! It’s besides a amazing safety addition to your home. Believe me, falling on a stair with a carpet runner is much more enjoyable than falling on one without any!
