It also looks similar to one of our many variants. And I think the staircase is drawn too short. Are you sure that this is a realistic dimension for a comfortably walkable staircase? Ours is 3.63m (12 feet) on the long side, and some have already said it is too steep. But perhaps you have more space on the short side than we do.To be honest, we have trusted the architect on this so far. Are there any other opinions?
Speaking of the staircase: we would actually prefer it on the opposite side, but unfortunately, we haven’t found a solution for that.

stefanc8427 Mar 2017 18:54Well, the architect should definitely keep that in mind, so I would trust them on that. The only alternative that comes to mind on the opposite side is the option I attached.

I don’t see any rise and run measurements indicated on the plans, but based on the drawing, I don’t see any reason to doubt the stairs.

What do you find better about that (just that you don’t have to turn while walking down the stairs to the driveway exit? – you have to stop at the door anyway)?Not at all. It’s more about the feeling when entering the house. You then go left into the living area, and the staircase feels like it’s “in the way.”

We currently have a completely different solution in mind, yes. Where you have 9.01 m (30 feet), we had 10.24 m (33.6 feet), so it barely worked upstairs. Sorry, I didn’t notice that at first glance.
