这个图书馆，这个概念的核心，包含四个秘密门，当打开时连接周围的空间。当这些门关闭时，房间两边都是书架。它有一个镜面抛光的钢天花板，它通过创造似乎延伸到空间的书架，使空间的高度提高了一倍。一套薄L形钢板创造了一个非常轻的悬臂阳台，允许进入较高的书架，同时保持他们的视觉垂直性。

This library, the heart of the concept, contains four secret doors that when opened connect to the surrounding spaces. When these doors are closed, the room is lined with bookshelves on all sides. It has a mirrored polished steel ceiling, which doubles the perceived height of the space by creating bookshelves that seem to extend to in nity. A set of thin L-shaped steel plates create a very light cantilevered balcony, allowing access to the higher bookshelves while maintaining their visual verticality.

这创造了一个与周围明亮的房间形成鲜明对比的亲密气氛的阅览室。

This creates a reading room with an intimate ambiance contrasting with the surrounding bright lit rooms.

主要谷仓位于房子的庭院环境旁边，从高街的视野之外，就在私人通道内，因为它进入庭院。在南高地的某个阶段，在主谷仓中添加了一个带有石棉屋顶的倾斜块，遮住了主谷仓，形成了邻近的属性Betts农场的边界墙。

The main barn is located aside from the house courtyard setting, out of view from the High Street and just inside the private access road, as it enters into the courtyard. A lean-to block addition with asbestos roof was added to the main barn at some stage to the south elevation, obscuring the main barn and forming the boundary wall to the neighbouring property Betts Farm House.

ChristinaSeilern描述了该设计，他说：虽然在设计上缩小了画廊，但图书馆有点古怪。它有一个镜面抛光的钢天花板，通过创建似乎延伸到Nity中的书架，使所感知的空间的天花板高度加倍。一组薄的L形钢板制作了一个非常轻的悬臂式阳台，允许进入较高的书架，同时保持其视觉垂直度。

Describing the design, Christina Seilern, said: “While the galleries are pared-down in design, the library is somewhat whimsical. It has a mirrored polished steel ceiling, which doubles the perceived ceiling height of the space by creating bookshelves that seem to extend to in nity. A set of thin L-shaped steel plates create a very light cantilevered balcony that allows access to the higher bookshelves, while maintaining their visual verticality.’
