The Bookshelf house

Italian architect Andrea Mosca has renovated a formerly dark house in a nice suburb close to Paris into a light-filled residence that houses hundreds of books around the living spaces. The Bookshelf House was created for a family of five who fell in love with the room-length bookshelf at a friend’s house, where they were staying during the renovation.

The interior wasn’t in good condition, the main living space was a double-height living room with a grey tile floor and a masonry stair separated by a stainless steel railing. The result was a fairly dark and indifferent set, especially under the cold light of Paris.

Mosca made this structural element to provide a place to display books, the beech wood shelves act as stair bannisters, room dividers and general storage within the three-storey house.
