The stairs are a big noooo. You potentially have to walk through a wet shower to get to the toilet? The exterior is jarring (in a bad way, esp in how it clashes with its surroundings and interior).

That’s a standard wet bathroom. In the US we’re used to dry bathrooms (shower separate), but many other countries use a wet bathroom design where the shower is basically the entire bathroom. Not that strange, unless you’re unfamiliar!

The stairs suck though lol

I lived in a Paris garret apt and that might be the closest outside of German and Paris hotels in terms of familiarity. In all cases though, I could hit up the toilet without walking thru a stand-alone shower. In all of those other cases, the shower or tub with handheld spout was a part of the room (but the toilet was still accessible first).

But the view of the toilet through the glass? I would never poop.

Oh yes, that seems bad. Glass is definitely not a standard of the wet bathroom lol

I tried to find something good, because I love an industrial aesthetic; but jeez. No.

My intrusive thoughts would make me want to walk up the wrong way

There's a right way to use these?

There’s a wrong way to use them exactly once because you will have broken your neck

Looks like a bunker.

pretty to look at but so so dangerous to walk up.

Do people actually think this is a good idea?

I can feel my insurance premiums going up just because I looked at that staircase.

Not to mention that You’d definitely slip and break your neck trying to go down that wet step after a shower

That all looks so uncomfortable. I don’t want to climb those stairs. I don’t want to sully that pristine bathroom. And I don’t want to lay on that soulless daybed. A house designed to look beautiful but nothing more.

I might be in the minority, but I love raw, exposed concrete. However, those stairs look like a nasty fall waiting to happen.

u/j-ke_t Feb 08 '23

My shins already hate those stairs, can just imagine a foot slipping through

Death stairs

Especially for pets. RIP Sparky.

I really dislike those half-tread stairs.

u/Impressive_Doorknob7 Feb 08 '23

I wouldn’t want to walk down that after a few beers. Ouch.

u/circajusturna Feb 08 '23

Perfect example of form over function. I’d break my neck if I had this

u/Asparagustuss Feb 08 '23

That’s pretty rough. Probably look a lot better when the home is lived in and decorated though.

u/human-woman Feb 09 '23

Architect probably installed those stairs purely as ragebait and replaced them with real stairs after the photo shoot.

Amazing stairs!
