Hi everyone!

We have just gone over our floor plan again. Our architect recommended a "single-flight half-turn staircase" for our layout. However, an acquaintance said that this wouldn’t be very practical because the landing would be right in the middle of the room – and I think they might be right.

What do you think looks better or is more practical: a single-flight half-turn staircase or a single-flight straight staircase?

I’ve attached our floor plan as well as another example of how it could look.

Thanks for your feedback!

Best regards!

That's why the floor plan looked so familiar to me.

Oh man... I think I need a coffee first. Monday morning and all...

Good morning!

@ypg. Okay, I think I understand that. But it won’t work because our staircase is supposed to go up to the attic.

Hmm...

But thanks to everyone!

From the ground floor to the first floor, it could be straightened—which would be useful for moving double beds, wardrobes, and dressers upstairs. From the first floor to the attic, the staircase can remain spiral, as bulky items will no longer be easy to carry up.

Hmm, @Nofret, I don’t see how you can straighten the staircase without changing the floor plan. Also, a quarter-turn staircase will likely cause problems on the upper floor, as the door to the room on the lower right side of the plan would probably no longer be accessible. It can’t be moved further down in the plan either, as there is a sloping roof there.

I only meant to straighten the lower part so that it has just a quarter turn... you end up exactly at the same point at the top.
