The building surrounded by a cylinder with background plane. We also added VrayPlane for the ground and an additional building. Light is provided by VraySun and VraySky.

Background plane material

Additional building mesh

Additional building material - very simple, we just need to put a texture on unwrapped model here. It will be barely visible outside the window, so we don't need anything more fancy

A slight trick - we want the light to be casted on the shelves through tree branches so we placed a plane with tree silhuettes just by the roof window.

Material of the trees plane - just an opacity map for blocking sunlight

And that's how the roof window mesh looks like

The mesh of the building "deconstructed".

Building mesh close-up. It's also simple.

Walls material. Sometimes simplicity is the key. And there is an additional bonus when we can use simple materials - rendering time is shorter!

Interior withot a ceiling and front wall. You can see that we placed many curtains here and windows with VrayPortals.

Inside - stairs and a lot of books :)

Layers for post-production

Post-production. First we used RGB High Pass (0,8) to sharpen the image. Drag the slider to see the difference.

The next steps in post-production: we added GI layer, Specular, Refraction, Reflection layers, then we added two subtle spot light layers, two refraction layers for these spot lights that gave slight bloom effect and we placed a color balance layer on the top, tinting overall colors to blue.

On the top we made Vivid group that was overlaying the rest of layers, giving more life for the image. Post-production is finished!
