This 3,500 square foot, three story space is a celebration of human invention. The library contains an extensive collection of more than 30,000 books and museum-caliber manuscripts, maps and artifacts such as dinosaur bones, an ancient bible collection and an original Sputnik Satellite. Designed to embody the human imagination and inner workings of the owner’s brain, this space is marked by M.C. Escher inspired staircases and bridges lined with etched glass panels that are illuminated by color changing fiber optics from under the handrails.
