Neoclassical Library: Bookshelves as Columns

A Neoclassical library. The entire wall is an built-in bookcase, divided into equal sections by white pilasters, with each section being an open bookshelf. Above the bookcase, a continuous frieze and cornice extend across the other walls of the room. The lower part of the bookcase features wainscoting panels with square frames. In the center, a large desk with straight legs is paired with a chair with a shield-shaped back. The upper part of the walls is pale blue-green. The ceiling has simplified plaster reliefs. Avoid: using modern bookcases without pilaster divisions, discontinuous moldings between the bookcase and walls, dark wood bookcases, making bookshelves into display cabinets with glass doors.

一間新古典圖書室。整面牆是嵌入式的書櫃,由白色的壁柱等距分割成一格一格,每一格是開放的書架;書櫃的上方共同承接一道浮雕飾帶與簷口,與房間的其他牆面連續。書櫃下段是有方框的護牆門片。中央一張直腿的大書桌配一張盾形椅背的椅。牆的上段是淡青綠。天花有簡化的灰泥浮雕。避免:使用沒有柱式分割的現代書櫃、讓書櫃與牆面的線腳不連續、使用深色的木書櫃、把書架做成有玻璃門的展示櫃。
