anton-landberg rated 5 days ago- A nice, spacesaving solution if you don't have room for a bookcase. I'd love to have one...

- An amazingly chic and innovative space-saving solution--a staircase made out of books.

- Books can accompany you in strange ways, but I have never come across such a staircase. Stairs can hold books: take the steps. But let me remember my pleasures before I fall asleep.

- From the page: The flat occupies part of the shared top floor of an existing Victorian mansion block. Our proposal extended the flat into the unused loft space above, creating a new bedroom level and increasing the floor area of the flat by approximately one third. We created a 'secret' staircase, hidden from the main reception room, to access a new loft bedroom lit by roof lights. Limited by space, we melded the idea of a staircase with our client's desire for a library to form a 'library staircase' in which English oak stair treads and shelves are both completely lined with books. With a skylight above lighting the staircase, it becomes the perfect place to stop and browse a tome. The stair structure was designed as an upside down 'sedan chair' structure (with Rodrigues Associates, Structural Engineers, London) that carries the whole weight of the stair and books back to the main structural walls of the building. It dangles from the upper floor thereby avoiding any complicated neighbour issues with the floors below. Our strawbale house will have a staircase similar to this. More rustic with downed lumber instead of the nice, polished look - but still, the idea is pure genius. I simply adore it.
