Hello everyone,
At the moment, we have planned a straight staircase. The ceiling height is 2.65 meters (8 ft 8 in). Please also see the house sketch.
The hallway upstairs and downstairs is the same width. I am wondering if it would be possible to create an L-shaped staircase that would allow access to the bedroom through the walk-in closet, as marked in red. Without having to change the width of the hallway? The L-shaped staircase could, of course, be positioned further forward, and hopefully, when I reach the top, there would be enough space for the door to the walk-in closet/bedroom. Would this be possible?
Thanks in advance

Would that be possible?

[First of all, for clarification, here is the original house planning thread: https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/grundriss-175qm-satteldach-ohne-keller.45056/] What is the motivation behind this major redesign?
Keep in mind that such a change more or less represents a complete transformation of the floor plan. The shape of the staircase is more than just a cosmetic change in a house design.

The hallway is too narrow... and when redesigning the staircase, the layout of both floors always needs to be considered. By the way, the ceiling height to be overcome is 308 cm (10 feet 1 inch).

Looking at the floor plan... what exactly is that narrow shaft in the bathroom?

It’s probably related to laundry: a washer-dryer stack or a utility shaft. Crazy! Who would want to squeeze into such a dark, tight space? I would always plan something like that wider than, for example, the shower area, because you need room to turn around while carrying something, or to perform an activity that might involve bending over.
And then there is a window at the shower… unbelievable.

This definitely has something to do with laundry: laundry column or shaft. Crazy! Who would want to squeeze into such a dark space? I would always plan something wider than a shower, because you have to turn around holding something, so it’s an activity that may require bending.

This is not the finished bathroom. The layout in the bathroom is not yet finalized. Of course, there will not be that “narrow corridor.” But my question was not about the bathroom either.
As described above, the idea was to move the door to the bedroom. At the moment, you have to walk all the way around the staircase to get to the bedroom.
And I’m aware that a staircase changes a lot. That’s why I asked if it would be possible at all with the current hallway. That way, the changes would be minimal.
So that no one has to worry about the narrow space or the window in the shower anymore, here is the current bathroom plan:

Where exactly is the L-shaped staircase supposed to bend? I don’t quite understand. Or do you mean the bend is in the lower section and you actually want to step out straight on the upper floor? If so, isn’t the ground floor plan missing somehow?
