staircase for (sitting and/or) sunbathing Explanation: "Architects are increasingly designing staircases that double as seating" https://www.dezeen.com/2013/10/20/special-feature-stairs-you... Since "soltrappa" and "sittrappa" seem to be used to refer to the same thing. Does not seem to be the same thing as "suntrap" (or "sun trap"). "A location that faces the sun and is sheltered from the wind" https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sun_trap "A warm place that captures the heat of the sun." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/suntrap I suppose you could argue in favor of "sun trap/suntrap" based on this, though: "The term 'trap' has been used in geology... It is derived from the Swedish word for stairs ('trappa') and refers to the step-like hills forming the landscape of the region." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps |

lounging steps Explanation: Low confidence level as I'm not sure how common the term actually is, but it does offer an alternative to seating steps and hints at the idea of sun. A feature of the plaza will be terrazzo lounging steps inset with reclaimed wood. Some of the interior designer’s favorite applications of wood in the atrium and outdoor plaza are the monumental stairs. Not designed for ascending and descending the building’s five levels, these sections of steps will be oversized seating areas created for lounging. https://newsstand.clemson.edu/trees-legacy-engrained-in-new-... |

sun steps Explanation: Just a guess, as l’ve never heard this in English, but I have heard ‘sitting wall’ and ‘sitting steps’. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 hrs (2019-06-21 03:17:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.tripadvisor.com/LocationPhotoDirectLink-g277793-... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 4 hrs (2019-06-21 17:08:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or ‘sunning steps’ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 4 hrs (2019-06-21 17:09:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Our private "dipping" pool has sunning steps ... https://www.homeexchange.com/holiday-home/1467221 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 4 hrs (2019-06-21 17:11:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Private pool with sunning steps ... https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p820845vb |
