Staircase for kids.. from Budapast

Description from the designer Biljana Javonovic

i am an architect originally from croatia, but based in budapest, hungary. i recently completed interior stairs for a young, creative family with two young children in their newly refurbished apartment just below unesco heritage site of buda castle. so, i tried to respect the historical ambiance of the building and the apartment and, but i also try to add a modern touch to the apartment that would be in harmony with the lifestyle and of the family using it. so i designed these stairs that use the motif of circles and semicircles that can be found on a huge old window in the apartment. i call my stairs emmental stairs cause they the sides of it look like the emmental cheese holes. the stairs divides the open space of the living room and dining room, but it does not isolate them. except for its function, the stairs are used by their younger daughter as a toy. she loves playing with them…running around them, hiding behind them, sticking her head through the holes and stuff like that
the stairs had to be quite steep (cause of the technical restraints). that is why i designed these triangular shaped treads that add an extra touch to it.
