HALLAN, MANALI / INTERIOR STUDIES
Manali.
A room for books.
A world beyond.
An intimate library, a mountain-facing seat and a quieter place to work. Three views explore the relationship between enclosure and outlook.
01 / THE LIBRARY
Held in timber.
Bookshelves rise into a patterned ceiling, giving the room a continuous timber character. Small tables and individual seats introduce a more intimate scale beneath it.
VAS / 03.01 / DESIGN VISUALISATION02 / THE OUTLOOK
Room to look out.
A second view turns from the books towards the glazing. The ceiling remains a strong frame, while the seating leaves space for the outlook.
VAS / 03.02 / DESIGN VISUALISATION03 / THE STUDY
A quieter register.
The study uses a simpler composition: a long desk, overhead storage and a band of light. The window gives the workspace a second point of focus.

The detail
changes the whole.
Select a numbered detail to examine the image. Notes describe what is visible in this design study.
The ceiling
Repeated, faceted coffers bring depth and rhythm overhead. This is a reading of the visualisation; timber species and construction details are not confirmed.
The book wall
Full-height shelving wraps the reading area. Integrated light gives the vertical surfaces a warm emphasis in the render.
A place to pause
Smaller seats and tables introduce moments of individual use within the larger library.
