Micro-Library for Children

Micro Library for Children 
This project was done in my 2nd year of college. We were asked to create a micro library for children ranging from 8-12 years of age. 
Furniture
We had the opportunity to create our own furniture. I referred to Ernest Neufert's guide on ergonomics to guide my way through creating the furniture.
Notes, Sketches and Ideation
After going through few case studies and finalising my spaces and their dimensions, I started deciding on the furniture that would be apt for the library.

Reception Shelf
Reception Table 
Bookshelves
When it came to the furniture, I took the average measurements of children in the age-range given and designed it accordingly. The reception desk is a comfortable height for an adult to work on and also for a child to reach. 
Seat and Bookshelf
Not only meant for storing books, but children can also seat and read on these shelves/seats.
Floor Plan
This library had a reception, a play area, a silent corner and of course, a space that stores books.
