The checkered skin and the large overhang have nothing to do with one another. Identity crisis. Please see OMA for guidance: http://www.arcspace.com/architects/koolhaas/Seattle/ Yikes!

The way it arranges books around the perimiter and on low shelves is very nice - it keeps the books in sight, but also comfortable. The exterior needs a little work - perhaps a better scale shift at the door. I think the interior is whimsical and charming.
