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.

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.

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.

Share on FacebookI 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!

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.
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. 🤕
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Load More Replies...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.
Yes, it is very beautiful and imaginative, but it does look very dangerous.
This is very beautiful and functional. However, I absolutely require a handrail.
Love it, bet it cost a fortune though! I agree with the other comments, it could be dangerous for a child or an elderly person.
They look very cool, but I have no doubt that I would trip going both up and down those stairs.
I'm picturing myself climbing that stair slightly too much on the left, wearing socks, and slips on that curvy part, I would probably end up cut in 3 pieces.
This is stunning! Would love a home that would complement a staircase like that!
It's beautiful. But as other have mentioned, not safe. But to go even beyond that. There are so many places that this wouldn't even get close to passing building codes. I've been looking at something interesting and many of the staircases wouldn't be allowed anywhere I've ever lived.
"No handrail. We will save a bed for you in the Emergency Department." My thoughts exactly!
Bad design. No handrail and a slope on the ascending steps. Where's the aesthetic appeal of being in traction for 3 months?
Gorgeous...and crazy expensive. That's some VERY complicated mill work.
Agreed. Also, it seems to occupy more space than my hole bedroom. So much space wasted... But It's a very creative design for people with big fancy houses.
