Synagogues always need more space to store books. The challenge is to find a convenient way to way to house the books without detracting from the beauty of the Torah ark (Aron Kodesh), which is usually the main focal point.
Here kimchi designed a column on either side of the Aron Kodesh and wrapped the carving around to augment the sense of three dimensionality.
The book cases are positioned behind the protruding columns, and have sculptural detailing of their own which ties in with the overall design.
