Look at this awesome place, and notice the rail on the stairway.Last Monday we visited two model homes in our local New Urbanist Community. They were modern-esque (my sister-in-law and I were discussing that Ikea furniture and a non-pitched roof doesn't necessarily make a house modern) and both had super awesome rails along the stairs, with horizontal elements. Like this one, but not as cool:

But then the parents in the group (not us) pointed out the child climbing factor, which I totally hand't considered, which could be really bad. So anyway, the first picture, with the modern but not ladder-like stair rail is super cool. I love it.
