Library in São Paulo, Brazil by Pascali Semerdjian Architects

Located in São Paulo, the library was designed in an existing space attached to the main house. The place, plus the program inspired us to create a working and reading space, a refuge, with a double right foot and a short stretch with a simple right foot, guided us to create wood panels covered in straw in a room solely white.
Glass Shelfs are supported by the same structure of the panels. The doors are the wooden panels themselves, however, they are camouflaged in a way that doesn’t lose its continuity. We believe this continuity helps create a space of isolation and introspection. In this way, the feeling of isolation from the outside world is steep.
The library has a natural light through openings in the space with double right foot. The artificial light that is integrated with the panels also back-lit. Has an automated remote-control system that allows the creation of several scenarios: For reading, work, etc…
The furniture was developed by us exclusively for the library, as the magazine support, drawer and table. We also chose pieces by designers such as Giulio Cappellini, Front Design, Werner Aisslinger and works by the artist Anish Kapoor which fir perfectly into the project.
