On Monday, we visited Veronika and Sebastian's rental apartment, with its amazing book-lined staircase. Here's what the architect said about how he came up with this stylish space-saving solution. London-based Levitate Architects came up with this ingenious solution to a book storage problem and created a loft-like bedroom nestled under the roof of the top-floor apartment.
Here's what Levitate's Tim Sloan had to say about the project: The flat occupies part of the shared top floor of an existing Victorian mansion block. Our proposal extended the flat into the unused loft space above, creating a new bedroom level and increasing the floor area of the flat by approximately one third. We created a 'secret' staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. >> AT Europe: London House Tour - Veronika & Sebastian's Rooftop Victorian - This is the original house tour! >> How To: Build Staircase Drawers >> More Staircase Storage.
