You could design it so that there is only one in a corner (and have one helix inside of another), but two would be too much, IMHO. If you were to do something like BigBoy proposed, the two blobs are going to take up as much room as a helix. So I think Paul's #3 is a good start. <br /> <br />Now, you could do Paul's #3 and get continous at the same time. You could use one or two of the walls (depending on grade, elevation difference between levels, etc.), where two grades cross each other. One on the way up to the upper deck, and one on the way down. I'll sketch something out here in a little bit to clarify what I'm talking about. <br /> <br />---jps
