Three walls, one rail, room for the whole collection.
book collector's library
Project Overview

A rolling ladder on a continuous curved rail reaches the full height of the room, and the window seats lift on soft-close hardware for storage below. Custom quatrefoil fretwork panels conceal the return air, keeping the millwork uninterrupted from baseboard to crown.

The level of craftsmanship is many times greater than any of the other cabinets we had researched. It is absolutely worth the time and money you invest. He does not take shortcuts, period. From the precision of measuring and cutting to the wood, paint, fittings, and everything in between, it is all top notch.

I have always wanted a built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcase with a library ladder but I wasn't sure that would ever come to pass. Mathias captured my dream bookcase down to the very last detail and the result is better than I ever hoped it could be.

Creativity Starts With A Custom Blade
At Woodwork Franzreb, we regularly procure custom cutting profiles that allow us to create bespoke moldings, trims, door details, and architectural millwork that simply cannot be purchased from a catalog. Custom knives give us the freedom to match existing historic millwork, reproduce discontinued profiles, or bring a designer's original vision to life with precision. The result is greater design flexibility, seamless integration with your home's character, and details that feel as though they have always belonged there.
