Illustrative concept
A place for slow reading, shared tables and a little quiet.
The brief
Illustrative concept: turn an underused room into a neighbourhood reading space that welcomes both solitary readers and small gatherings.
Our response
Timber shelving defines the perimeter. A long shared table occupies the bright centre, with smaller seats tucked into quieter edges.
Material notes
Ash joinery, wool upholstery, lime plaster and linoleum.
From brief to material.
