Miller Residence

http://www.chrdauer.com

A modernist house in the Berkeley hills is expanded and completely renovated for two art historians. All of the new work is seamlessly integrated with the original character of the house to maximize views, natural light, and……book storage.

New windows, lighting, and casework transform a dark storage room into a comfortable naturally lit workspace for art history research.

Are the bookshelves custom or a system? »

Chr DAUER Architects If I remember correctly the lateral files are from Hon (2 drawer), you should be able to find them at your locally owned office supply store, they should have in stock or order them for you

Where did the desks/files come from, or are they custom? - Looking for something almost identical to this, thanks! »

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Margaret Everton to Book Nooks--Get The Look

These simple (and beautifully filled) built-in bookshelves turn what would be a blank space with a desk into an entire world of academia and learning. This room is useful and aesthetically complete--beyond the work space, there is no need for other decor.

added by Becky Harris to Libraries for Everyone

Here is a beautiful home office with a library vibe.

added by Margaret Everton to How To Organize Your Home Office

This library incorporates a work space with this L-shaped desk. Consider putting two similar tables together and creating your own L-shape. Use one side for technology, and the other for sprawling out projects (and that ever-important cup of coffee). More home office inspiration

added by John Hill to 24 Amazing Walls of Books

Two walls covered in books can also converge at a corner. This office space is not only packed with books but designed so the work surfaces meld with the book storage. If going this route on your own project, be sure to check that the top shelves can be reached over the desk.
