Hi, I just came across your site, and saw this particular post about the unused space over the stairwell. The idea was brilliant and my wife and I want to do something similar in our home. The photos provide a very basic understanding of what was done. but it would be very helpful to see additional photos of the build in progress, if there are any. If the person who posted the oriiginal pics wouldn’t mind, could they email me any additional photos that were taken during the build?
I am a remodeling contractor with several decades experience, this is a extremely dangerous design and it is irresponsible to post this on the internet.

Your “translation” is pretty dumb. It’s not his post, he is a professional who simply stated that this type of design is dangerous. He isn’t trolling for business, he is trying to keep people safe.
very impressive! great idea!

Thanks again for posting the idea!

Hire an engineer. This is not something you should build if you don’t already know what you’re doing.
Interesting!
Agreed,I would also like to see more photos/details.
Great idea!!
For an ‘How to’ article, the ‘How to’ is definitely missing…!
Um, hire a contractor or architect.
You can send me an email if you have questions about this type of project. I have designed several.
So just please give me your ideas free of charge because I’m too cheap as well. I’m another person who wants a Ferrari on a yugo budget.
Interesting, but would like to see what the downstairs looks like after.
