Some of those are frankly unnerving

Some of those went a step too far
VillagerJeff
So many of these wouldn't pass inspection

#6, #7, and #16 were made just to fuck with people coming home drunk.
CrackerAisle
I'd fuck up on them while sober.
RoloTonyBrown
For some of these I’m thinking “cool” but for others you coulda just made some fucking stairs these are way to complicated to be practical
Chrispybobispy
BeesKneesJohanson
Some of these are super awesome, others...pray you’re not drunk near them.
oblimo
Yesterday, upon the stair, I met a man who wasn't there! He wasn't there again today, Oh how I wish he'd go away!
sirfanciesadrought
Some are fancy, some innovative, some save space (like the spiral staircases) but wtf is up with #6 & #16 ?
ironjudas
Trippy.

I would take a dump down these stairs too.
ryan2one3
Now most of these are just damn impractical.
NarratorsVoice
Beautiful but the stuff of nightmares for imgurians who write "I tripped on the stairs today".
Parsonius
Anyone notice in #16 you don't step on the angles, it's taken from the top of the stairs. My stupid ass thought it was the other way.
realargonwolf
I noticed it too after a moment, though frankly I'm not sure if it's an improvement.

Anyone else have an M. C. Escher moment with #4?
tomyironmane
Briefly, but not as bad as you get in the Knowlton School of Architecture.
realargonwolf
I thought it was a very stretched series of platform-like stairs until I saw the people and realized it was a top-down view.
Forgotmyoldaccountbutohwell
#16 is awful. Absolutely awful.
ManMashine
#1 i'm suddenly horny for this staircase.....
joeb0t
This post is on another level.
justsome
It has it's ups and downs
DefinitelyNotAFed
Let's just take it one step at a time
Come2Japan
But still a step in the right direction ...
justsome
That would be a step in the right direction.
justsome
Onward and upward
Wintersteel89
These treads are great. Certainly a riser above the rest.

#9 is the Da Vinci designed double helix staircase at Chateau de Chambord in France if I'm not mistaken.
tomyironmane
Double helix?
thatguyisreallydeep
You're not.
jswhat
I was going to ask about that. Usually spiral staircases go the other direction, at least in edifices that can be used for defense
realargonwolf
What makes it a double helix though? It looks single to me.
orangeyougladitsnotbanana
It has 2 entrances and they twine around each other. You won't meet someone who uses the other entrance.
realargonwolf
But in the picture there doesn't seem to be enough physical space for two separate stairways to circle each other.
Zanzetuken
Gods forbid you go down any of these drunk.
realargonwolf
If anything I'd think you'd go down them much easier while drunk. Your status on arrival may be questionable, however.

I was gonna say, some of those are looking to ruin your day
dandalion
I'd die sober on some of them
northstar10101
I was just thinking that! Pretty neat collection of stairs, though
HeyHarryOldBuddyOldPal
Beat me to it
pirate4lifes
And make it look like an accident

My shins hurt just looking at them.

Everything can be a vagina if you're brave enough

OP’s mom’s, I do believe.
Ittouchesthetoilet
Well, many men have gone down there
sirfanciesadrought
With teeth.
DanteHicks79
Vagina dentataaaaaa!

Exactly!

HEY GUYS IT'S A VAGINA

I wonder how many have jump in.

Literally like throwing a hotdog down a hallway.
grantplant
I'm into that
pookieeatworld
Hotdog down a stairwell?
Nadyanilo
I can just imagine all the men standing at the top of the ledge, jerking it to a balustrade.

The landing on the main floor. Look closer.
jinxhahayoumissed
If I ever have to nose dive down the the middle of a stairwell this is going to be the one.
n7334zjt8c1337
Actually a vulva, to be correct.
Watchtheadventuresofpeteandpete
Thank you!
TomatoPepper
Actually stairs
n7334zjt8c1337
But you said it was a vagina so which is it to be?
stretchalezander
tomyironmane
Oh good, maybe you can explain to us why you would make them this way. I mean, seriously, I'm hoping there's a reason beyond "aesthetic."
noZen0
They appear to save a lot of space.
stretchalezander
I only had about 4’ for the run of the steps. It’s like a ladder but the cutout keeps you from banging your shins and you have a full step.
tomyironmane
So every now and again there IS a reason, good. Personally, I would have installed more handrail though.
