The Trees Room is starting to look Eames-ish

I could do a lot worse. The Eames House, Case Study No. 8 (1949) by Charles and Ray Eames, with early collaboration by Eero Saarinen.
I'd guess this was about 6 meters wide by 6 meters high--Trees Room is 4.16 meters square. The bookcase to the right is not against the wall. The ladder runs from a cross beam down to the floor in the gap. They knew they were in earthquake country, right?
No, I did not model the Eames House in Sketchup. Someone else did, apparently.
