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

Where exactly is the L-shaped staircase supposed to have a bend? I don’t quite understand. Or do you mean the bend is in the lower half and you actually want to step out straight on the upper floor? If so, isn’t the ground floor layout missing somehow? This is roughly the idea, if it’s even possible at all

That will be really tight and awkward right next to the front door. I’m not sure if that looks good. Are you referring to the current staircase being tight or the L-shaped staircase? The question is whether an L-shaped staircase would even fit.

I still don’t understand why anyone would want to change it to an L-shape? What’s the advantage? It’s simply about shortening walking distances, since the door to the bedroom would then be closer to the ground floor, which would make things easier with a baby. Yes, I know the children will grow older and eventually have their own rooms.
But that was just a thought, and I would like to know, if someone is experienced with this, whether it would be possible.
Thanks

So you want to move the bedroom door to the end of the walk-in closet, where the exit area of the straight staircase is still in the way. I can understand the purpose is a shorter sprint to the "Child 2" room at night – that makes sense – but what does the ground floor have to do with it?
While Child 2 is still a baby, I would rather swap the functions of the walk-in closet and the "Child 2" room...
