Unique house in Shimane, Japan is famous for its cool roof made of stairs.
Open spaces between the stairs are covered with clear glass that lets in light and protects the house from rain.

@ Paul, if you read it says “Open spaces between the stairs are covered with clear glass that lets in light and protects the house from rain.”
i think its a really cool idea, but i dont think the veiw will be very nice if someone decides to sit on the steps..:S -_-
