PREMIÈRE LIBRARY

A house without books is like a room without windows.

To be or not to be, that is the question. Old, real books versus eBooks: Which wins? Do you use an e-book? If so, which one? Let me know.

BSSR-Bookcase DESIGNED BY Huib van Wijk, architect, the Netherlands.

BSSR-House, Parkstad Heerlen, the Netherlands, 2008-2010.
Dutch architect: Huib van Wijk, Hoensbroek. Site area: 1000 mq / Total floor area: 450 mq.

One of Huib van Wijk's largest villas, situated at Parc Highfield in Limburg, province of the Netherlands. Van Wijk's 2010 villa is interesting and simple with a cool international style, designed and built on the principles of “less is more”, “doing more with less” and “less but better”.

"The Library Workspace. Never let anyone tell you that organization can't be beautiful. Today's featured workspace, from Flickr user iBSSR, makes an entire wall of shelving its centerpiece. Filled with colorful books and decorative items, it makes for both a practical and attractive home office.
The wall-based bookcase was designed by architect Huib van Wijk and looks like a somewhat large undertaking, but the results are beautiful. If you like this, you'll want to check out the other smaller wall bookcase as well, November 7, 2011".

"Workspace of the Week: Dutch details. This week’s (October 28, 2011) Workspace of the Week is iBSSR’s minimalist Mac office space: This selection is located in a minimalist house recently built in Parkstad Heerlen, the Netherlands. (It’s in the southern Limburg province of the Netherlands.) The name of the house is “Minimum to the Max,” which I believe also aptly describes the feel of this room. In the desk and workspace area, there are only computers, desks, task lighting, and chairs. Likely, when the space is in use, there are also project materials strewn about the desks. However, at the end of the day, all items are put away and stored on the bookcase. The bookcase is built into the wall and was part of the original design of the home. Without the bookcase, the space would feel empty or impersonal. With the bookcase, the space transforms into an inspiring studio that can provide clarity and creativity. The long window that runs along the wall opposite of the bookshelf is also nice for bringing natural light into the space. Thank you, iBSSR, for sharing your minimalist space with us".

"Bibliophilia: Combining Library with Home Office. It's natural to try and combine rooms when you haven't got enough space, but many people use their home office as an ad hoc library to store their books. Granted, sometimes they end up in piles near a desk, but books are something that bibliophiles love, so they are worth making the effort to store them adequately. In order to maximize your storage space, we recommend getting wall to wall bookcases or shelves. You will be able to find some that fit standard rooms, but anything higher than the norm will most probably require something custom-made (images: Flickr member iBSSR), November 10, 2011".

Exploring the workplace: the library as a wall shelf, a proposal
仕事場探訪：壁一面の棚を図書館のようにする、という提案
隠すばかりが収納ではないはず。あえて見えるように物を配置し、好きなものはお部屋のインテリアとして活用してしまう「見せる収納」も収納方法のひとつです。FlickrユーザのiBSSRさんも、壁面いっぱいに大きな収納スペースを設けており、まるで自分の部屋が図書館にでもなったような気分が味わえます。
ご覧のように、建築家のHuib van Wijk氏の手がけた壁一面の本棚は、シンプルで大容量。壁面を天井まで最大限に有効活用でき、壁一面が美しい収納空間に変身します。お部屋にあふれがちなものを大量収納することが可能です。
