to correct the data: architect is Marcela Steinbachova, S. Holl is only the author of the turning library… see http://www.stevenholl.com/project-detail.php?id=100&search=prague at the bottom.

Wow, they needed a sketch to show that one side of shelf is white and the other is black…

I’m happy to see such a big architect tackling a relatively small, private, commission. I’m also happy to see Steven Holl design something like this – something that does not make the designer’s identity obvious.

http://bit.ly/dc1mA – Interesting bookshelves. If I had a library, I’d definitely put in a rotating bookcase.

Good taste, and very comfortable to be there knowing that it is a kafka’s society. I am curious if the presence of the door is made known in public or kept secret. BTW I was not too sure if Kafka was inspired by Ninja… ;-)

I am not sure about this interior. I have mixed feeling. I can see how it refers to Kafka, but possibly your approach was too simplistic. First of all, to keep style and age this place is referring to, timber finishes and shelf could be more era related. Its too much like Ikea today, sorry to say that. Possibly more noble touches could help to lift the rank of this place. Secondly I would probably explore more existing curves, openings and ceiling arches. And generally the interiors looks somehow empty. I like space with single table, chair and book shelves, but others are not that great. Please dont be offended, it just my humble, subjective opinion.
