Text description provided by architect.
By making the wall diagonal, a new easy-to-use bookshelf integrated with the building was born.
Because all the shelves of the bookshelf are inclined, children, women and old people can easily climb without a ladder, and books of high position can be easily taken out and put in.
In Japan where rain often falls, oblique walls play a role as a roof of approach to the entrance.
The horizontal shelf functions to prevent buckling of 4 m long pillars. From the viewpoint of a safe bookshelf, a new relationship of housing - structure - bookshelf has been created.
