Loft图书馆是一个巧妙的改造桁架椽屋顶，通过插入胶合板拱门，形成完整的结构和书架，可以大量藏书。
Loft Library is an ingenious conversion of a trussed rafter roof through the insertion of plywood arches to form integrated structure and shelving for a large collection of books.
Loft图书馆为伦敦东部Walthamstow两层楼的露台住宅提供了40米的线型储书空间。该房屋建于20世纪80年代，建筑为砖墙空腔墙，屋顶为桁架椽。屋顶的单一坡度在阁楼的一端形成了一个空间，由于木桁架中对角线构件的扩散，使得这个空间不容易进入。由于客户的预算有限，它决定在现有建筑的结构内工作，而不是创建一个新的阁楼结构或将空间进行扩展。通过用胶合板拱门代替斜桁构件，阁楼图书馆由楼梯通道、小长椅、拱门之间的书架和末端的书房空间组成。
Loft Library responds to the client’s brief to provide 40 linear meters of book storage for a two-storey end of terrace house in Walthamstow, East London. The construction of the house built in the 1980’s was brick cavity walls with a trussed rafter roof. The single pitch of the roof formed a space at one end of the loft which was not easy to access due to the proliferation of diagonal members in the timber trusses. As the client’s budget was limited it was decided to work within the fabric of the existing building rather than create a new loft structure or extension. By replacing the diagonal truss members with plywood arches the Loft Library was formed with a stair access, small bench, shelves between arches and a study space at the end.
所有表面的材料都是18mm云杉胶合板。三个垂直的三层玻璃窗安装在北部立面的桁架椽子之间，为图书馆和书房空间提供光线和节奏。在西立面增加了一扇窗户，以捕捉傍晚温暖的阳光。
The material used for all surfaces was 18mm spruce plywood. Three vertical triple glazed windows were installed on the north elevation between the trussed rafters to provide light and rhythm to the library and study space. An additional window on the west elevation was installed to catch the warm evening sun.
选择云杉胶合板而不是桦木胶合板，因为它既便宜又有更丰富的木材纹理。木材表面的阻燃处理是一种无害、无毒、低粘度的清水产品，称为Flametect C-WD。上面涂了一层OSMO Polyx油。每个弧形书房空间中心都安装了300流明/米的LED照明条，可以照亮书籍，与拱门的节奏融为一体。
Spruce plywood was chosen over birch plywood as it was both cheaper and has a more expressive timber grain. The fire retardant treatment of the timber surfaces was a non-hazardous, non-toxic, low viscosity clear water based product called Flametect C-WD. This was over-coated with OSMO Polyx Oil. LED lighting strips of 300lumen/metre were installed in the centre of each bay to illuminate the books and integrate with the rhythm of the arches.
