Stairs, Shelves, A Cupboard and A Desk All-In-One

Staircases are critical in homes that have more than one story, but  they can also be a serious drain on space. In an effort to make the most of the staircase, designer Just Haasnoot commissioned Dutch design studio Mieke Meijer to create a staircase that combines the functionality of stairs, shelves, a desk and a cupboard. The end result is a great place to work that provides a lot of much needed storage all while serving as a staircase at the same time. 

You can see all kinds of other great pictures of the staircase and more information about it at Homes and Hues: A Staircase, A Storage Unit and A Desk In One
