And then here are some clever staircase ideas:
A space for four, providing each with a bit of privacy and ownership.
Can you tell I like maximizing the use of a given space? Everything should have a place. But then, there shouldn't be too many things in the first place. Part of the architectural design game for me is balancing luxury and minimalism: you want to get exactly what you need to be comfortable, but no more, and certainly not enough to make upkeep a chore.

Could Harry Potter be living in the staircase cupboard?
That staircase-cum-chest of drawers would be an excellent space-saver if it was not for the potentially lethal consequences of inadvertently leaving open a drawer and someone stepping into it, especially coming down the stairs at night.
To be acceptably safe, it needs some kind of interlock involving a navel-high gate or barrier immediately above the step, and perhaps some kind of illuminated warning.
Anon--that sounds like overkill. I don't think anyone would use them if those were required. How about drawers that just have a spring to close automatically? (You'd have to hold them open.)
