Come on guys, think about it, those stairs would totally work (i.e. you wouldn’t have to realign your feet) if you just walked up them, close to the center…..

This is aesthetically pleasing, but I have concerns regarding safety and overall usability.

Can’t skip steps.

This a very appealing set of staircase. It is great to look at but I’m not sure if this design offers optimal usage of what a set of staircase is made to do. To walk up or down the stairs safely, you would have to take left to right or right to left steps. Hope the owner of this staircase doesn’t get dizzy half way and fall off especially since one side is left open without any hand rail.

The only issue Id have with this is that every time your feet are not in the right alignment it would force you to readjust just because. Otherwise an interesting development, almost like an optical illusion at some angles. Not really keen on the engineering needs but kudos for making it work.
