ᐅ Steel staircase or wooden staircase? Pros and cons? Feedback welcome.

Hello, we are currently trying to decide between a wooden or a steel staircase. What is your opinion on this? Is it ultimately just a matter of personal taste (and budget), or are there specific advantages and disadvantages?

The building will be a 160 sqm (1,722 sq ft) urban villa.

General comments on the floor plan are also welcome. We have redesigned the ground floor ourselves (more storage space in the utility room), which is why there are two versions of the ground floor plan.

Thanks a lot for your input!

Certainly a matter of personal taste. Wood doesn’t resonate the same way as steel.
In our townhouse, we had a steel staircase and more than once our neighbor mentioned hearing it when the kids were upset.

That’s why wood cracks! However, what I find more important is the positioning of your windows, as there is no system or symmetry at all. You should reconsider that.

Steel staircase is more open and allows more light to pass through.

Reinforced concrete staircase?

Is there a specific reason for the room layout? For example, the kitchen located on the west side?

According to the development plan, there is a carport on the east side, and an access driveway must also be constructed there.
Metal staircase or wooden staircase?
