I agree a few details are not practical, but architects had a deep understanding of the space and planned this little box in a very good way. Great job, a very warm and relaxing atmosphere.

Also the 1st floor has a continuous and quite substantial looking ballustrade - pretty normal stuff. ladder is to get to platform level and roof only don't panic! i think there's a (presumably conventional) stair and handrail peeking into the second photo – from ground to 1st (main) floor.

Architectural photographers don't always meet the demands of health and safety hungry critics... Kev, further pictures on the architects website show an actual staircase in the design…

Really? @emmet forget lack of balustrades...I can't imagine carrying a newborn baby up a ladder 25 times a day. At what age does a child learn to climb a ladder without falling off? I bet in one year there is a new stair case built and railings/balustrades built across the mezzanine. Codes and regulations exist to protect people, not to figure out how to get around.
