The Uroko House book igloo from Point Architects is the book-lover’s dream. The igloo is made up of rows upon rows of shelving where you can store your favorite classics. The inside of the Book Igloo is hollow and the perfect place to store your bed.
Of course this nifty little igloo is meant for children, but I say embrace the child in you! I, for one, would absolutely love to dream my night away surrounded by my favorite reads.
