I think the hanging spiral staircases would seriously pose a problem to the morbidly obese.

Great post! I absolutely love the hanging sprial staircase and the bookcase/staircase. I’m certain I would kill myself on the alternating stairs, though- I can barely manage not to trip up regular stairs!

Can’t show this post to my husband…or he will insist on replicating the slide/staircase!

Spiral staircases makes me nervous. I fear they are never going to end.

As for kids leaving the drawers open in the storage drawer stairs – my kitchen drawers close by themselves – I think that would be a mandatory feature.

Very interesting, very beautiful. Also terrifying, of course. That alternating staircase – YIKES!!!

Cool stuff! When I saw the title, I thought of the Da Vinci staircase at Chambord. It’s a double helix, with one helix for going up, and the other for going down. The idea was, when it was Louis XIV lived there, that whoever was going up the stairs to see the king couldn’t see who was just leaving.

the bookshelf stairs are fine for houses with carpeting and/or people who like to clean alot. the first two would terrify me though. i’d be afraid to fall. That last one is amazing. i’ve always wanted a spiral staircase. they’re so much more interesting than regular ones.

good job

Thanks for the cool post! I am glad to see the Winchester Mystery House stairs referenced. I am from San Jose and that is one of our main tourist attractions. It is a weird house with random, strange designs. Also the other staircases in the house are different since they are about 13 steps (Mrs. Winchester obsessed over the number 13) and the steps themselves are smaller than normal (not as high) since she was very short.
