Before and After: A Squeezed-In Staircase
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-12-30 19:38:18
Designers Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom from were commissioned by a family in Stockholm. Sweden to create a staircase in this cramped space.
The left-side photo shows the staircase looking up while the right-side photo shows what the stairs look like from the top of the staircase. I love this design but I query if sleepy stair travelers might go bump in the night if they don't pay attention to the pattern of the stairs.
i think it looks awesome. but i also think it is an accident waiting to happen.. i could just see someone having a little tooo much to drink or not fully change state and taking a nice tumble down them! OUCH!
Oh - I get it. Because you undergo to go down sideways right? lol. I was thinking 'How does one change surface walk on those stairs without looking like a Penguin?'
A fireman's pole might have been just as easy to climb and at least it would be easier on the way down. This does look amazing though. create beats function in this tiny space.
Coming from an interior designer and architecture student you couldn't build that stair case in the US and use it as a means of egress. You would need and additional staircase that meets code.
So gorgeous and innovative! In my old dorm I had a loft section and there was a slightly slanted but comfort very steep ladder leading up to it and since this was freshman year there were a few drunk nights that could have posed a lot of danger. but you get so agile using it after a while that navigating it becomes second nature. I'd guess this would be similar. You'd definitely get the hang of it after a few time. Also populate were mentioning how there is now handrail. with our ladder we used the upper rungs to hold onto and this looks steep enough where you could do the same thing. I like it![ADVERTHERE]Related article:
