Although turning floors into furniture is an attractive concept and this instance is quite intriguing,

this monolith may squeak and creak after a teen boy spends a couple of years running up and down those stairs and doing what teenagers do.

But I like the idea.

Half of it opens, obviously. Nothing extraordinary, there’s a slightly awkward edge but hey Good work.

think its a brilliant design….. the detailing superb…..functionality good….but looks like the single wood color can be monotonous…
all in all i think its well thought out…..

Great design, I wouldn’t mind living in similar housing. I like the 4 level hard wood design the most. There’s so many possible places to have storage, such as the underside of the stairs, even in the floor/walls themselves with pop-out cabinets that could be arranged like tiles.

I’ll definitely refer to there designs when I build my own house.

that last picture is a welcome surprise. what a pearl inside that oyster shell. i imagine once lived in, the use of one material throughout will be very much softened. great execution of such a unique program.
