ᐅ Outdoor Staircase / Stairway to Bungalow

Hello everyone, we are currently facing a problem. Our bungalow was built into a slope, so our basement is at ground level. We have two entrance doors. The first leads into the basement plus a separate apartment, and the second leads into the bungalow above.

Now we are desperately looking for a solution to access the first floor (bungalow). The house has more of a country style, so a metal staircase—I’ve already had a few designs on the table—looked like a fire escape. Wood is basically not an option for us due to the high maintenance required.

Does anyone have ideas on how best to design or plan the staircase to reach the first floor? We have also considered a prefabricated concrete staircase with a landing, but we haven’t made much progress here.

Suggestions with pictures are very welcome.

Thank you very much!

Floor plans and pictures would also be very helpful to understand the problem and find a solution.

Outdoor or indoor stairs? Is the construction already complete or still in the planning phase?

This is the house, and we would need to access the first floor via an external staircase.

Just ask the person who designed it that way. How do you currently get to the first floor?

Sorry, but who planned this? An interior staircase would be appropriate here, or the front door for the upper level somewhere along the slope. An external staircase in this location will always look like a temporary solution and be impractical.
