If it were only a sleek toolbox, I wouldn’t have even set a glance on the Toolstair. The fact is this concept is a clever design and I really hope sees the light of day. A refreshing, sturdy, portable and modular combination of a toolbox and stepladder is what we are talking about. It stores the goodies and transforms to a handy step-up with adjustable heights. Something that every home and office needs!

Building a slide in your own house can be challenging but with enough imagination and plenty of concrete you'll be able to pull the job in no time. The concrete slide in the modern house presented in the pictures below will help you skip all those stairs when descending, not to mention all the fun it will provide to your kids. The slide is pretty impressive as it will let you spiral down at amazing speeds. Well, okay, maybe you're not going to experience amazing speeds but sliding down will be a lot faster than simply climbing down two flights of stairs. The concrete slide can be currently found in a house in Indonesia made by Aboday Architects, and besides the slide, the house has plenty of other interesting elements. One of them is the staircase, which will still need to be climbed all the way up after each slide. Via Aboday Architects

What do you do when you have too many books in print? You either get a Kindle in order to better manage your reading passion, or build yourself an out-of-the-box storage solution like the Staircase/Bookcase project in the images above. It's one of the most efficient designs I've ever seen when it comes to storing book collections, but there are a couple of downsizes too when looking at this bookcase with a double personality. First of all you need a two-story house or apartment, otherwise building such a storage design will lose its second functionality and thus its coolness. But most importantly using the Staircase/Bookcase as an actual staircase might not be something you'll want to do since inevitably, you'll end up getting dirt on some of your favorite titles.

Who knew that the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper into origami would translate into folded stainless steel as a staircase?

Meet the Origami Stairs, made out of stainless steel and shaped into triangular facets to create a flight of stairs. The 6 millimeter thick stainless steel is supported by a glass banister that provides the illusion of floating steps.

Designed by Bell Phillips architects out of South London, the Origami Stairs were created for a client that needed to join two flats together.

The following staircase solution is definitely a very interesting choice for modern apartments. I'd be the first one to go up those Twin stairs no matter how dangerous it all seems. Designed by Roberto Volpe, these Twin self-supporting glass stairs are definitely ready to offer an entertaining look for your eyes. But if you have kids around the house then you might want to consider something less dangerous for them. Don't get me wrong; the Twin staircase is made of durable tempered glass and steel supports used to mount each step on the wall. You won't have to worry about their durability, as they will certainly not fail you once mounted on the wall. What's rather troubling is that there's no railing on the other side to hang on to.

To my readers, what do you think about the free floating stairs in this picture? I came across this interior design idea in my research and where I have my own opinions, I would like to get yours. My first thoughts are that it looks pretty cool, but I wonder about the stairs safety. If there is no handrail it might be easy to fall from the stairs. Also, this does not look like a feasible design concept for a home with children. On the other hand, I am drawn to the minimalism it creates and in the right setting, it would look cool. Let me know what you think.
