Silverlake Hanging Library

Lehrer Architects transformed a 17-foot-tall Silverlake condominium living room into an artful haven. The hanging library, a unique creation, weaves together art, books, and artifacts, illuminating once-challenging spaces with meticulous design. Cantilevers above, strategically offset from existing walls and windows, introduce a captivating torque that frames views of a reservoir beyond. The result is a harmonious integration of form and function, where every element serves a purpose in enhancing the overall aesthetic and functionality of the living space.

"This hanging library is a harmonious integration of form and function."
- Ben Lehrer, Lehrer Architects
