<br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home library 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="836" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-library.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="600" /><br/><p>Situated in Sao Paulo, Brazil, the Querosen Home was designed by Grupo SP to take advantage of the of a low-lying website, 3 metres below street level. The home is concrete with Portuguese Stone floors and the North wall is a 3-storey shelving program that holds a staggering 7500 books accessed by metal platforms. The social zone requires benefit of the privacy on the lowest level offered by getting beneath street level, even though still maintaining views of the landscape beyond by means of the wall of glazings at the back of the residence.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home exterior thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-exterior-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>With each sides of the residence strong concrete walls, the library creates a camouflage to the mostly windowless wall while on the other side, the concrete wall is separated from the house by several feet, allowing for air and light to pass by way of. Although the library zone is a 3-storey volume, the other side of the property – where the kitchen and bedrooms are positioned – are every single single volumes.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home entry 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="903" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-entry.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="600" /><br/><p>Access to the home is from the library side and a glass door opens to the living area.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home site thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-site-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>From the street, Querosen Residence is fenced off with two trees in the front yard. The residence seems easy in structure, following the standard 10×40 metre format and keeps its secret of contemporary, wide open spaces and landscape views. </p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home backyard thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="427" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-backyard-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>Its tough to believe that in the hustle and bustle of its location, the Querosen House could have such a private and calm backyard and such a voluminous social zone.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home library ramps thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="417" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-library-ramps-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The metal platforms that connect the library to every single of the 3 floors on the other half of the residence bring an attractive industrial aesthetic to the zone that balances the historic aspect of the books themselves. Layered into this ying / yang decor are the semi translucent glass walls of the 3 levels and the rough concrete of the architecture. The lustre of the glass, the shine of the metal cat walks, the rough texture of the unfinished concrete and the rows upon rows of books on wood shelves all come with each other to develop a dynamic warehouse atmosphere to what is in fact a single family stand alone property.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home living thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="417" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-living-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The living location on the lowest level appears nearly oblivious to the catwalks and books above.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home dining thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-dining-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The dining region is behind the 3-storey volume and with a regular ceiling height the space has a more intimate really feel. Just beside the dining location is the concrete stairs that lead up to the private zones.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home stairs thumb 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="420" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-stairs-thumb.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="630" /><br/><p>The stairs are located in the void in between the concrete wall and the property itself. This void enables light and airflow to penetrate the house from the front and back even though maintaining the wall itself completely closed for privacy.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home street view 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="600" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-street-view.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="600" /><br/><p>Even the view to the street is private thanks to the privacy fence and the two trees in the yard.</p><br/><img alt="storey wall books creates privacy contemporary home library 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="879" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/storey-wall-books-creates-privacy-contemporary-home-library_.jpg" style="" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="600" /><br/><p>Grupo SP<br /> Photography by Nelson Kon</p><br/><img alt="picture 5128 3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " height="1" src="http://www.decoradvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/picture-5128.jpg" title="3 Storey Wall Of Books Creates Privacy For Contemporary Residence home design " width="1" />
