Here is another set of cool stairs; Italian. Pricey. But very beautiful.

An ex’s dad hand-built a set of stairs like this leading up to the family home’s loft in Ucluelet, BC.

Rather than a single, centre stringer (as shown) he had the stairs alternating between two very deep stringers on the outsides which – when combined with a routered groove on the outside edge of each – formed a handhold for climbing. Their cats had no problem jumping from stair to stair whether going up or down.

Definitely not the greatest when you’re half (or fully) in the bag (speaking from experience)… but excellent otherwise.

Thanks Kat… yes I do plan to post more interior stuff.

I saw that wild transformer house too… a bit much for me… but I agree inspiring to see any crazy idea.

Wow, everything listed in the Interiors section is incredible. I just stumbled on your site. I'm studying to be an interior designer, and this is the kind of stuff that drives me mad.. in a good way. Even if a specific design doesn't look viable in real life (would hate to sleep on that box-guest bed), the concepts really get the gears turnning! Hope you post more stuff like this in the future.

Perhaps not a concept for a super-tiny or portable house, I read about this architect a while ago.. Gary Chang and his “Domestic Transformer” home, (featured on treehugger & apartmenttherapy, and others). Cool concept, definitely worth a peek. Love the idea of walls that move.

Just testing comments. I just installed this cool comments plugin and wanted to make sure I didn't break anything.

DJ… RE: Thomas Jefferson… Very cool… always nice to borrow from the best

Pierre-Luc… great stuff. good point about spirals being potentially less of impact on loft floor space. …and ASCIITECTURE… LOL Love it.

Justin… Glad you noticed! I figured you’d have some great stuff along the same lines from http://stairporn.org

EJ… great link

…and Grant… LOVE the ASCIITECTURE attempt. Very clever. It would work better is the comments on my blog were styled with a equal space font, that’s why it got messed up.

Or should we call it ASCIITECTURE?

ASCII Architecture. Surely beats Sketchup!
