Turett Collaborative Architects have used a slide to combine two identical 1-bedroom apartments in New York City into a duplex 2-bedroom home.
Half-tube slide begins on the top floor near the office, and ends below near both the living and dining areas. [photos by Travis Dubreuil]

I like it, but it takes up a lot of space. A fire pole would be more space efficient, but not as much of a hit with little kids.

Its not that big of a deal space wise…Its a freakin’ slide. You can form shelves around it, like, you just gotta get creative! I don’t think this person will have a problem doing that.

we had something like that in my country, about 20 years ago, in a movie called “we are not angels”, and it went 2 stories down so it’s not quite brand new idea

Great. Take the slide to go down and the staircase to go up.
Takes a lot of space in a small appartment, but funny for the kids

Honestly how could you not like something like this. Feeling a little kidish, take a slide down the slide and feel free and young.

i think the colour and material of the slide dont fit with the house…makes it look a little too industrial.

@Jonathan. Sorry, that’s a one-way staircase, very common in NYC.
