Giant Bookshelf House
We have great respect for homes with books. And an even greater respect for architects that manage to bring them into the spotlight. Sure, in the case of today’s project, highlighting them was not so hard, being given that Querosene House has a giant bookshelf that “accommodates†no less that 7500 books. This amazing residence comes from architects grupoSP and is located in São Paulo, Brazil.
Living in a fortress
Converting a Napoleonic defense tower built in 1808 into a 21st Century private residence is a demanding task, especially as the building is considered historic, and exterior modifications had to be minimal. Thanks to the determination of everyone involved Martello Tower Y won a RIBA Award for the Eastern Region in March of this year.
