Our most recent mezzanine is an interesting variation. Because the platform is only intended to be accessed occasionally for storage of clothing and suitcases, our client opted to not have a permanent staircase. In place of a fixed staircase, a sturdy pull-down loft ladder and hatch was fitted, freeing up all of the bedroom floor space below for normal use; the flat has effectively acquired an attic! A solid balustrade to the front still allows you to look over and down onto the bedroom space below.
The hatch and ladder in use.
Simple wardrobes where built at mezzanine level for efficient storage of clothing.
