design :: walking on air

This "Mistral" staircase by Stiller is not only functional but has beautiful design sense as well. The "floating" stair treads give the illusion of walking on air!

stairs :: to slide or fly?

What kid wouldn't love this? (and maybe we adults too?) A modern stair slide...

but leave it to Aven to find the absolute best way to get from the top to the bottom

...he flies! That's my grandson for ya - he's JUST COOL!

stairs :: the coolest for the smallest

What do you do when you have a small space and lots of stuff? You  get creative! Here's a clever way to do it with style. This sleek modern staircase has three functions. It's obviously a set of stairs but it also acts as a room divider, a coffee table and a bookcase too. Very smart and very JUST COOL. I like!

 

Unfortunately I found this one on the web and have no idea where it originated or who manufactures it / designed it. :(  Do you??

architecture :: W-Window House - the stairs!

W-Window House in Kyoto was designed and built by the husband and wife team of architects Kentaro Takeguchi and Asako Yamamoto as their own residence. The challenge was to build the small house to fit a small space, and to optomize the light, yet minimize the conflicting views of the surrounding buildings. The stairs and angles are amazing! So is the rest of this house.

Interior :: metal tree railing

A tree has taken root on my staircase. Instead of chopping it down, I'm keeping it because I just love the wild natural look it gives the place.

Naaaa... I'm kidding. These aren't my stairs, or my tree. But I'm not kidding that I think this stair case railing is JUST COOL! You can custom order this wrought iron railing or design your own. I found it at this iron fencing place called Imagination Metals.

architecture :: it's about these stairs

they're JUST COOL.
