A Three-Storey Garden Library in Zadní Třebáň

Mjölk architekti have built a unique three-storey garden library that breaks all the rules.

The second floor is really just slats of pine laid wall to wall.

What appears to be the third floor is really just a seating rim around the top of the second floor bookcase.

Only the ground floor boasts any furniture.

The Library has an opening roof, “so the top of the house can be used as an observatory” say the architects.

The three “floors” of the curious structure are accessed  via an internal ladder.

This ladder is cleverly integrated so it looks like part of the booksheves.

A wicked sense of childish glee informs the rudimentary structure.

Is this unique garden retreat just an observatory/reading nook?

Or have its Czech builder/owner/architects actually fulfilled a boyish dream of a making playful secret clubhouse?
