§ IV.05

Studies & libraries.

Built-in shelving, recessed desks, secretaries.

§ 01
Discipline

Studies and libraries are the rooms where books and work meet. We design built-in shelving that fits the actual books in the house — not the trade standard of eleven inches — and recessed desks that disappear at the close of the day.

Libraries built by Kloset Workx typically run floor to ceiling on at least one wall, include a library ladder on a metal rail, and incorporate a small bar at the far end. They are designed to be lived in alone or to host quietly.

Built across every tier — a wide range of solid hardwoods and finishes through to rare, reclaimed and sourced materials. The exact species, finish and metal are chosen with you at the drawing stage; we are not a catalog.
