Lol here's a 6LDK + 4S. The S are the 3-tatami rooms (6x9 feet) that don't count as bedrooms because they're too small or you need to walk through them to access the 2nd loving staircase. gently caress this house, this is why people tear down old houses and rebuild instead of trying to remodel the old family labyrinth.

Another horrible thing about all those glass stairs is having to windex your loving stairs.

Is it possible they're made of the type of toughened internally stressed glass that can randomly detonate? A good thing to find out in the middle of the night in the dark.

That’s tempered glass, and it’s what they should use because it’s stronger. But it needs to be laminated because it’s vulnerable to scratches and when it and if it does break, you don’t want it to catastrophically and leave you plunging a full storey.

I mean, Jesus, I'm used to this thread delivering terrible design and implementation, but I can't even begin to fathom the sheer number of those ways that someone could injure themselves on those stairs. Slipping and falling simply due to bad design, potentially massive lacerations from tripping and hitting an edge (even when not even on the stairs in the first place, just walking past), tripping and catching a leg in the open space on the fall and shattering the trapped limb on the way down, misstepping and falling down the goddamned stairwell underneath it, the list goes on and on.

I like to imagine that the steps slide in and out of the wall in a preset pattern that you have to memorize so you can skitter up and down at the exact right moment, like a classic platformer.

I'm not sure I could do anything resembling "skittering up and down" those even without them moving.

 I guess cleaning under this one isnt such a issue, because the loving maid will do it. But it would sure as poo poo suck dropping ones keys/phone/pet through them.

The second, taller glass wall stops before it hits the back red wall, so you can get behind/under the lower stairs.

Forcing users to crawl or die mirrors the options available to underclass individuals in an increasingly feudalistic capitalist society. Those who chose to walk will be maimed by bourgeois bullshit. They will be laughed at by the crawlers, who are--in truth--making the only rational choice.

It is the same with slippery, glass-enclosed stairs. We see and laugh at the struggles of helpless bastards trying to navigate such challenges. We appreciate that we are not them despite the fact that we, too, will have to take those stairs. This is not crappy construction. This is art.

Polio Vax Scene posted:I just noticed the final step at the top is just a triangle, hope you don't try and use your left foot! Look at the way the steps protrude from the wall. They're flat with respect to the floor, but come out of the wall at alternating angles. You have to start off on your left foot and alternate or else.

I sure wish American realtors would include floor plans in listings. I could nope out of a lot of houses real quick when looking.

Omg you're right they don't  Is it a security thing, or just laziness???? (Japan has a serious advantage with the tatami mat system. It's easy for realtors to measure and easy for customers to visualize.)

There are phone apps you can basically plug in your height and point them at the corners to get a pretty decent layout of each room. Shouldn't take THAT long to get something that roughly resembles reality.

Was 8′×10′ feet the actual usable floor space or does that include the footprint of the stairs?
