Up the Stairs…

A dwarf lives on the twentieth floor of a high-rise block of flats.  Each morning he gets in the lift, goes down to the ground floor and off to work.

When he returns in the evening, he always goes up to the tenth floor in the lift, and then walks the ten remaining flights of stairs to his flat.  Why?
