Interior Metal Transportation Device

JUMP IN
The last title I wanted to give this post was "the slide". Amateur, which I am no longer.




Why not have a slide in the middle of your New York penthouse suite. Did I already give away the location before you could guess?


Now in this case, this slide is not only meant for transportation, it is also used as a major focal point for the entire suite. Given its metal exterior, and glass casing, it certainly ties this otherwise cold suite together.


I can't really think of anyone who wouldn't want a slide in their apartment, loft, suite, house, and especially commercial buildings.



If I were to propose a change to the space, and how the Turrett Collaborative Architects have designed this place to be. I would definitely not add that hideous staircase, and replace it with a somewhat spiral staircase going alongside the metal slide. Perhaps something like this... Now imagine the stairs being in a all dark wood, with a glass covering and metal railings right along side the stairs.


Not only would this potential solution create a more open space for the living and dining area, it would also compliment the focal point (slide).
