inspired by designing for earthquakes but i like the idea of an entire wall leaning and providing a nice bookshelf
whole house is interesting too as it is very compact but not claustrophobic
might add a few handholds but it does lean a lot so maybe handhold just not needed
also easier than a ladder and safer for young and old
"Safer" in what manner? There is so much wrong with that image, starting with the shoes she is wearing for climbing.
Would you want your "old" grandmother climbing that wall?
I LOVE IT!!!

it is a steep angle but i think the indoor picture makes it look steeper
the outdoor angle makes it clearer but would not want toddlers on it
keep their books at the bottom
but it is not so much different then a steep staircase for a cellar or attic
