This Minimalistic Staircase Resembles A Strand Of DNA Inside Of A Two-Story Home

When people think about creating their home, the staircase is probably one of the last things that pops into their heads. After all, it’s probably much more fun to play around with the idea of how your new living room or bedroom will look, especially with all the Pinterest-worthy design ideas you can find online. But Iranian architect Eisa Ghasemian has recently proved that a staircase can be one of the core design pieces in a home that is functional, insanely aesthetically pleasing, and eye-catching at the same time.

    While staircases may not sound like the most exciting thing to design, Iran-based architect Eisa Ghasemian proves that anything can be exciting if you are creative enough. She‘s been working as an architect for approximately seven years now but her work experience traces back to when she was only a student, trying to make a career while working in various architectural offices.

    However, Iranian architect Eisa Ghasemian certainly managed to take an ordinary staircase to the next level

    In an interview with Bored Panda, Ghasemian revealed that she‘s always looking for specific ideas to turn into reality and is fascinated by both the creative aspect of her job and the opportunity to build things. „Design means creating and building, and I really like that,“ she said.

    Despite how challenging the project was, the architect talks about it very fondly

    She revealed that she was inspired by an idea of fluidity and motion when creating this mesmerizing staircase. „Arches are a symbol of movement and the staircase is the main element in the house that connects the interior spaces of the house. In addition, attempts were made to design a staircase that had both good [technical] performance and beauty,“ Ghasemian said.

    “One of my best experiences was the design of this staircase,” she writes in an Instagram post

    Following her idea of building a staircase that was a representation of fluidity and movement, this beautiful design was born. „One of my best experiences was the design of this staircase,” she wrote in an Instagram post. The elaborate staircase has a metal inner structure that holds together which is fully concealed by a wood covering. The architect said that the construction of such staircase can be built and installed within a month, given you have skilled workers and technicians.

    Ghasemian says the design can be assembled at the site without any factory parts

    The Iran-based architect has worked on projects in Australia, Brazil and Turkey but revealed she’d like to design and build her own house someday too. Ghasemian likes the idea that she can design the things she likes in full detail on her own and have them for herself in her own home.

    Brazilian digital artist Ander Alencar took Ghasemian’s design and reimagined it in a darker wood

    I would end up getting my toes caught under the stair and end up with my leg hanging down between the stairs somehow.

    I'm sorry but your comment made me laugh out loud! Probably because I could see myself doing that too!

    Looks really cool, but DNA? If this looks like DNA to you, I suggest you google it. Not to mention that this is a death trap.

    A nice work of art, but I would be afraid to let anyone walk up these stairs, especially a child or an elderly person, without a handrail.

    It wouldn't meet code in most countries.

    I'm 'elderly' (70) and wouldn't have any problems with these stairs, even though I have slowed down a bit over the last decade. Fantastic design!

    I'm not elderly and definitely would! I guess some of us are just naturally more clumsy. 🤕

    Curved edge, no bannister = death trap fro children or elderly. Some designers are very creative but not practical at all

    You described a designer... you want practicality you talk to an architect.

    Am I the only one that doesn't see the DNA resemblance? o_O They look neat, I just am not seeing it.

    Not for people with small kids or the elderly. Imagine falling off the top stairs...

    I imagine falling from any stairs wouldn't be a pleasure.

    When architects convince themselves that they're creative artists, the result, more often than not, is irresponsible design and even dangerous design. This is an excellent example of that. Yes, there's no denying its esthetic appeal but there's also no denying its trio of failings. 1, it's dangerous, with no railings. It's narrow, and a good portion of each tread (the horizontal part) is curved and unsafe to walk on. Can you imagine two people passing each other on this? 2, Because there's no rail, people will reflexively steady themselves by putting their hands out to either side, especially because there will be some slight flexing at every step. The resulting oily stains will be unsightly and impossible to remove. 3, It's ridiculously complicated: a steel stairway the requires very many pieces of wood to disguise its unattractive skeleton. As for the DNA thing, someone's talking through his hat.
