Stair of the Week: MDRDV, Didden Village

They must have run out of money before they got to the bottom, but fortunately it is not a long drop from the last tread to the floor below, and there is a rope to help make the leap.
The stairs are part of a rooftop addition by MVRDV in Didden Village, Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

Beautiful!
nice stair, mirror image... It seems to be endless - no end and no beginning.
Very cool idea! I need something like this at my place. The spiral design sure would take up a lot less space.
Ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. (c) Led Zeppelin.... something came to my mind
So amazing. I love these stair series.
Do they acutally make them with holes, or windows? I like the idea, but they look like dark tunnels to me, not very inviting. With holes there would be a more open design, now they are like blocks, making the room feel smaller.
