Stumbleupon is always a great source for internet randomness – and a quick way to waste some time. But we always find some gems, like this staircase designed by London based Levitate Architects. The staircase was designed as a space-saving feature for an apartment in the UK.

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 [Levitate’s Tim Sloan, via].

  1. As much as I like the “double duty” of stair and storage, it seems a bit tight, especially hard to stand back and browse. But the fact you can find a book and be seated on the stair to flip through it and others is pretty cool. Needless to say this is a bookcase for somebody who doesn’t like to flaunt the collection; it’s a reclusive way of storing those lovely things.
