Cheap thrills
So, I’m a little crazy about stair design. It runs in the family – my parents have an open wooden spiral staircase in their house in lieu of oh, saftey. Good design trumps all, and the staircases that give me a little thrill of, “where is the handrail?” are the ones that I can’t help but post.
From Loft House.
I loooove this one. From HSH Architects.
This one is supposed to be from Hotel Gray in Milano, but I can’t find the link.
This one gives me the shivers. It was designed as part of a gorgeous house on Andros Island (anyone?) by the firm RCtech. Their site is well worth exploring – there are some GORGEOUS places these people have designed. It’s a flash site, but it has an English version if you don’t happen to know the cyrillic alphabet.
This last set of stairs totally kills me. It makes me claustrophobic and nervous at the same time, but I totally love how original this is. It was designed by Blencowe-Levine Associates for a house in Battersea, England. Very cool, guys.
Until next time, keep on climbing.

Regarding the staircase in Andros:
Thank you very much for the compliments and the post.
Andros is a beautiful island in the Aegean Sea and is part of Cyclades Islands complex. Also we use the greek alphabet, not the cyrillic one – which is used in Slavic languages.
Hope you liked the rest of our work as well.
Take care.
