Palace Library: Arched Windows and Full Walls of Books

A large library hall within a palace, two stories high, with all four walls covered in full-height white wooden bookshelves, divided by thin golden moldings. The upper level is connected by a surrounding cast-iron balustrade gallery. Five pointed arch windows are embedded between the bookshelves, with geometric openwork stone grilles on the windows, casting intricate patterns on the floor when light passes through. The floor is beige marble, with a large hand-woven rug in the center. The furniture consists of dark wood and leather reading tables and chairs, arranged in pairs. The ceiling is a carved wooden grid, with several small metal lanterns hanging. Avoid: bookshelves using metal or modern minimalist designs, windows being ordinary glass windows, asymmetrical space arrangement, or adding modern reading lamps.

一間宮殿內的大型圖書廳,兩層樓高,四面牆是通高的白色木作書架,以金色的細線腳分割,上層由一道環繞的鑄鐵欄杆走廊連接。書架之間嵌入五道尖拱窗,窗上有幾何鏤空的石雕格柵,光穿過之後在地坪投下細密的圖案。地坪是米色大理石,中央鋪一張大型的手織地毯。家具是深色木頭與皮革的閱讀桌椅,成對配置。天花是雕花的木格,懸掛數盞小型的金屬燈籠。避免:書架使用金屬或現代簡約造型、窗做成一般的玻璃窗、空間配置不對稱、加入現代的閱讀燈。
