HOLLYWOOD HILLS HOME

There are no hallways in this renovated 1924 home. Rather, rooms ‘ ‘The hallways become hallways when we’re walking through the house like this,’ says Ms. Jones as she moves past the window-wall from the living room to the master bedroom behind the fireplace, ‘but when you’re sitting in the living room, they disappear, so there’s a sense of enhanced space

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: A Dramatic Renovation in Tinseltown

The first bookcase on the lower level adjacent to the circular staircase is a hidden door that leads to the master suite, allowing the client to stay close to his books. "This room is all new," Mark says, "but the materials selected gave it an aged appearance," and the furniture doesn't compete with architecture.

added by Becky Harris to Create a Place for Books

This two-story library is in the home of a Hollywood writer who takes his tomes very seriously. If you look closely, you'll notice a secret door to his bedroom on the bottom left corner! See more of this house

added by Becky Harris to Get Ideas for a Cozy Library Space

Perhaps the most reminiscent of a game of Clue, this Hollywood writer's two-story library includes a secret passageway to the master bedroom behind a hinged bookshelf (look closely on the bottom left corner).

added by Lily Gahagan to Secret Passages and Hidden Spots

This grand library has a secret: The shelves at the lower left of the image are actually a door to the home's master bedroom. What a clever way to outsmart the boogeyman!

Although there are few windows, I liked the idea of a library. Imagine a picture window instead of a picture? The spiral staircase would be a unique idea.
