space saving stairs for the kids lofts

I've spent too long today rooting about on line in the hope of finding some clever design features.....The main focus of todays big googling session was to find suitable access / staircase ideas for the kids loft spaces...these are my favourites so far

Funky take on a spiral

"EeStairs have developed the 1m2® Staircase, a functional, stylish and safe solution designed to fit into openings of just 1m x 1m. Most spiral stairs pivot around a vertical post, and require an opening twice the width of the tread. The designers of this stair put the center post on a tilt, significantly reducing the size of the opening required.They are made of mild steel and can be powder coated in just about any color"
oooooh very clever!!

This set of stairs reminds me a bit of a climbing wall, I'm sure it's easy to climb up, not too sure about getting down? 

Another contender.....simple and practical.  With the addition of some balustrading this could be a winner for me..I'm thinking a contemporary run of safety glass up the side??

Another quirky design found at dwell

Keep watching to see what eventually goes in!!

Happy New Year to all,
