Although in my custom built house, I just plan on having a "Library" room...

The steps looked deep enough, and you could get a grip by the side book shelfs if you needed. I am not sure how this design would work state side though.

Most would probably be too fat to go down or up the stairs...

Remember a meter is a little over 3', and so 1 sq meter is like 9 square ft.

70 (square meters) = 753.473729 square feet

It's just you. It's no where near a straight drop. I grew up in a house with a steeper staircase, no railing and no wall on one side. Going face first down the stairs or even a ladder is safer in my book. If you trip, or stumble you just sit down as your center of gravity is behind you and it's easier to fall backwards.

If all the treads were uniformly deep, the rise/run wouldn't fit in that elevation. You can only do this in a private residence, as it goes against all ADA standards (at least here in the US).

The "^" symbol indicates a superscript.

I was thinking, "what is a 70m2 apartment? Some kind of British standard?"

It doesn't look like a stair case.. more like a ladder with no hand rails... its only a matter of time when the owner's going to fall while trying to descend facing forward. Jeez.. try building one of those in the US and you're asking for a damn lawsuit.

The sides however....

I see like... geography books and dictionaries. If this person was well read I'd be spotting some Orwell, Huxley, Kerouac, or Ginsberg. Boy do I love my beat generation (although I know Orwell and Huxley don't fit that criteria).
