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!

Quite a few questions have come up here.
What’s really interesting is what the building permit / planning permission actually states… to what extent something has been drawn in there… and what now has to be newly applied for retrospectively.
In the end, it will probably be the most cost-effective and practical solution to use the upper landing for access. However, I’m not sure where the staircase could go so that it doesn’t appear out of place.
The suggestion by @wilder Süden might not be approved because it’s too large and extends too far beyond the building boundary.
Regarding the country house style: I don’t find it too extreme… metal stairs also suit this house.

I am also waiting for explanations, especially about what the basement entrance looks like from the inside, how the interior stairs are arranged – and of course how this was planned.
At the moment, it seems like "we are planning a bungalow, then somehow adding a basement underneath, then adding a granny flat somewhere. Then oops, we forgot the entrance upstairs, so we just put in a door. Then again, oops – how do we get to the door? How do you plan to access the basement in the future? From outside, through the granny flat’s front door after all? The whole approach is a complete mystery to me..."

There was someone who built so high that the only entrance was hanging in midair...I thought of that one, too. Here, I don’t see a basement but a lower ground floor, and I’m surprised that the floating entrance door was approved or built by the builder without a drawing including stairs.
