Through books, humanity preserves and disseminates knowledge as well as ideologies. The project thus treats the library as a domestic heritage object—both a storage medium and a space for concealment.
Inspired by the “Inferno” of libraries—a space historically intended to preserve rare or sensitive works—the project explores the relationship between the visible and the hidden. This duality is embodied in a structural system consisting of a double skin. These two layers reveal a structural void that both increases storage capacity and creates niches capable of holding books and personal items. This void thus forms a secret compartment integrated into the structure.
