Hello everyone,
I have a floor plan here where the staircase has been designed with only two steps in the lower turn but three steps at the top. Does that make sense?
The floor-to-floor height is 3.15 m (10.3 ft) with 17 steps; the rest you can see in the drawings.
Would you build it like this, or would you do something differently under certain circumstances?
Thank you very much,
Mike

This is a stepped area: the lower half has a standard floor height, while the upper half is about 1–1.3 meters high (approximately 3.3–4.3 feet), essentially a platform. This is not visible in the drawing. The headroom is sufficient. I would be lying if I said I have a clear understanding of the situation now.

The larger double steps. Two steps contradict each other...

The lower edges of the "stair overhang = floor and landing in the upper floor room" are also chamfered to provide additional headroom.
If we reduce the upper turn to only two steps instead of three, then the floor and the "landing" on the upper floor above the staircase need to be raised by about 18.5 cm (7.3 inches) for head clearance, which means we lose some storage space. The advisor thinks having only two steps in the turn is better because it offers a larger tread area. My question is: how much safety improvement does this actually bring, and does having only two steps at the top significantly disrupt the natural walking pattern?
Sorry for all the questions—I hope this is somewhat clear.

Sorry for all the questions, I hope it’s somewhat understandable. It’s better to take it directly from your architect’s plans; that might help and could even make it understandable.

I have 2.04 m (6.7 feet) and have no problem (I am 1.80 m (5.9 feet) tall). However, it’s not very comfortable. If you are 2 m (6.6 feet) tall, you can’t avoid ducking your head.
