This is pure win. Almost wish I was stuck in my 300 sq ft apartment in Kingston so that I could rock something like this. The stairs going up to the attic room of a Victorian row house in London have been fitted with books that line each riser and wrap around the edges…
The 800 sq ft apartment was remodeled by London-based Levitate Architects, who created “a new bedroom level and increasing the floor area of the flat by approximately one third.” The staircase is both the way to access the bedroom and a perfect place to store books, movies or CDs. “With a skylight above lighting the staircase, it becomes the perfect place to stop and browse a tome,” says Levitate’s Tim Sloan, who also pointed out the unique structure of each step, allowing for anyone to comfortably sit down while picking a book.
