1. Super Minimalism

What led me to choosing this particular stair design to post on my blog was the fact that it feels so lightweight. Stairs are regarded to be an important component of a building because it links spaces together and are often bulky and heavy to provide enough structural adequacy. However, this particular stair design chooses to be different by being such a lightweight structure yet still serving for the same purpose and that's to link spaces together.
2. Industrial Rust
Via Nicolas Matheus, June 21, 2012.
This particular staircase has to be one of my all time favourites as it captures my feeling towards what I think architecture should be all about. I strongly believe in sustainability and re-using materials and this stair case heavily resembles these concepts from an architectural point of view. The look of the rusted metal in an industrial scene is such a perfect fit. This staircase in particular has inspired me to re-think my stair design for my client Shinya Kimura because I believe that an industrial designer such as Shinya Kimura can strongly relate to such stair design and re-use of materials.
3. Madness in Maastricht!

My final choice of stair design is such an exotic piece of artwork rather than a staircase. The design shown above takes the basic concept of stair design and throws it out the window and recreates the meaning of "think outside the box". One can say that the dull look of concrete surrounding the staircase shown above is as boring a space could get. However, this staircase plays a vital role in defeating this feeling and creates a very exotic feel of this space.
