Architect ? I doubt an architect has been involved in this process.

As a homeowner doing some heavy renovation this is precisely why I hired an architect.

We had a lot of ideas on how we wanted to do things and I'm glad we had an architect there to tell us when an idea we thought was brilliant was actually a terrible idea for X, Y and Z reasons.

I'm pretty sure no code inspector was involved either.

Why do the steps looks so wide apart?!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The real answer: it's not finished yet, this is just the frame. The steps itself still have to be installed. Usually wood.

Yeah I don’t know if everyone is that dense or they just play along but these are clearly not the finished product.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Because they are wide apart

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 hours ago

Because the architect wanted the gap between the steps to match the depth of the steps to get a striped look, because it looks better that way, obviously.

The answer to: why are there so many regulations limiting my artistic freedom.

Not for long!

Legs? There should be a "teeth bucket" underneath this thing.

It looks like the steps height isn't even consistant

When you put so many points into optimism that it becomes indistinguishable from delusion.

There's an fb group called Death Stairs, for anyone who wants more of this and is still using meta platforms for any reason.

My poor, poor shin

This would be cool if

  1. The stairs were fully solid - bottom and backs.
  2. This was made with mixed wood planks. The lower part has storage and the upper part has holes in the wall part to open the space up
  3. If had a hand rail on the outer side.

Yeah, I will not be stepping foot on those steps 💀
