Over the years I have accumulated pictures of stairwells that I find architecturally inspirational, these are just a small sampling of my favorites. Everything from simple to otherworldly. My favorites lean towards the floating stair treads. I also love the stairs built around a tree trunk, wouldn’t that be a great way to get to a tree house instead of a ladder?! Which are your favorites? Definitely makes you think twice about getting from A to Z in a more unique way.
Enjoy the gallery.
The first is an experiment by The Fun Theory that documents the following experiment: will more people take the stairs over an escalator by making it fun to do? The group turned a set of stairs in a busy Stockholm metro station into a working piano. So cool!

These stairs would be great in a Chiropractic clinic!
And while this next one could never be filmed in North America due to all the personal injury laws suits that I’m sure would emerge, it’s still super cool and let’s us release our inner child!
