Express elevators!

Say you have a 4 floor house. Rather than go from the 1st to the 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and so forth, how about a door on the 1st floor directly to the 4th? (I'm assuming that this isn't part of the current plan -- if it is, "never mind!" )

  • I don't mean to contradict, but why dont you just take the extra 5 seconds to get up to the fourth floor? (When it comes out.) :P

  • Because it won't be 5 seconds -- it will be a lot more. You're assuming the elevator doors will be near each other on any given floor. They won't be. For good reasons.

    And it's not contradicting -- it's discussing ... sort of.

  • I don't want to lose wall space to another door D: Maybe giving users the option of one or the other (stairs being the cheaper option and elevators the more expensive?)

  • It's not that big a deal. In real life, you go up stairs from the first floor to the second, second floor to the third, etc., right? And elevators have to pass the second and third floor to make it to the fourth floor.

  • Very tall buildings will have elevators which let you get from any floor to any other.
