Legs? There should be a "teeth bucket" underneath this thing.

Architect ? I doubt an architect has been involved in this process.

As a homeowner doing some heavy renovation this is precisely why I hired an architect.

We had a lot of ideas on how we wanted to do things and I'm glad we had an architect there to tell us when an idea we thought was brilliant was actually a terrible idea for X, Y and Z reasons.

Definitely not. Selling this house at some point in the future will be a nightmare because you're going to have to rip this out and put in normal, non-lethal stairs.

When you put so many points into optimism that it becomes indistinguishable from delusion.

The real answer: it's not finished yet, this is just the frame. The steps itself still have to be installed. Usually wood.

Yeah I don’t know if everyone is that dense or they just play along but these are clearly not the finished product.

Because the architect wanted the gap between the steps to match the depth of the steps to get a striped look, because it looks better that way, obviously.

This would be cool if

  1. The stairs were fully solid - bottom and backs.
  2. This was made with mixed wood planks. The lower part has storage and the upper part has holes in the wall part to open the space up
  3. If had a hand rail on the outer side.

I think that's the joke, but my brain is broken from looking at these stairs.

Oh, no joke, it would just preserve the feel of the stairs while making them actually safe

This is a category of meme known as "death stairs" by some.

I assume your concern is with all these pictures having no alt text? Makes sense and I'm sorry. It's not my intention to be exclusionary.

I'm open to ideas on how to fix that and still have Gif Conversations.

No! Not at all! I'm still trying to get on the habit of using alt text myself... but these stairs are a nightmare for any personn with difficulty to move their legs or with balance issues.

OH! Ok, but good news - everyone would hate these stairs so they can be an equalizer in that sense haha

And hopefully you saw the comment saying they're not finished and would get wooden steps before people walk on them
