Cool, I do have to think around corners tbh, it is in my jeans, or socks.......

I came up with this where the bedroom etc is above the main space and the kitchen units are beneath an exterior stair unit to a balcony with a kitchen garden and patio door entry/exit.

You would have to be careful with any guest. If you are cooking breakfast in the morning, you might want to warn them about the first step. It's a real doozie.........

Thanks for that, fascinating concept for small homes. In this instance the stairs would be outside the building which might be handy for a veranda/deck but would be difficult to manage as far as weather proofing goes.

Not impossible though.

Now I have to find a use for that.
