Some people are dreamers while others are doers. London architect Alex Michaelis is a doer. He built his dream house recently and says, “Everyone in the family was involved in the design and got to say what he or she wanted.” His kids, of course, wanted a slide next to the staircase.
Back when I used to wear a watch and had to be certain places at certain times, a slide such as this would have made a lot of sense in my own house as it would have shaved precious seconds off of my morning commute. Now that I work from home for The Internet, which knows no time and never stops, I somehow still think I need a set of slide-stairs anyway.

That’s impressive and he’s an honest man for giving his kids credit for that design.
Kids look at the world without filter. (There’s a couple of Douglas Adams quotes around here somewhere).
I’m 31 years old and I have to say… I’d never walk down the stairs again (though I don’t know if I’d go head first … [like Pete Rose]).
Boy would I like one of these in my home.
A toy store in my neighborhood had a slide like this—my kids loved to go there when they were little.
gotta get one in my house,
now i just have to get rid of the stairs completely and find a new way up
i got it!

Besides the insane fun factor, just think of how convenient it would by to slide down your purse, jackets, dirty clothes, cooler, etc instead of carrying all that crap down the staircase. Awesome!
He may give the credit to his kids — But maybe he was just thinking ahead. Looks like he’s all set for space for one of those staircase elevators when he gets older…
I’m a preschool teacher and I’d have to say I’d love to have this @ our school. However, always on ur bottom and feet first. safety before fun!!!
No more splinters from sliding down the old wood hand rail, LOL
bless this post with love,peace and respect.
