An architectural masterpiece: harmonising nature and design

Designed and supervised by Luigi Rosselli, winner of the prestigious Architizer A+ Awards. Comprehensive designed, with perfectly integrated exterior and interior. Featured in 100 House: Nature and Nurture.

“The Books House” stands as a testament to unparalleled architectural brilliance. Luigi Roselli’s vision, inspired by the pages of Lin Yutang’s “The Importance of Living,” comes to life through striking concrete slabs, gently echoing the form of a stack of books, harmoniously set against the backdrop of a breathtaking harbour.

Key features:

– The captivating living/dining area offer a seamless connection to the surrounding water views
– An impressive selection of outdoor entertaining spaces
