Hello everyone,
since I noticed the topic about stair dimensions in another thread and have been uncertain for a few weeks whether the stair measurements are acceptable, I’m bringing it here for discussion.
My only experience is with the stairs at my parents’ house, which are 2.30m x 1.65m (7 ft 7 in x 5 ft 5 in) and, in my opinion, comfortable to use.
Attached is the image with the measurements provided by the architect. The stairwell dimensions are exactly 2m x 2m (6 ft 7 in x 6 ft 7 in).
What do you think?

I think once you've seen a cat slip through or a child squeeze past the stair gate and hang on the staircase, you no longer want open stairs. Also, I personally find (but of course everyone can decide for themselves) the wedge-shaped steps very unpleasant. For me, walking feels much more comfortable on a straight staircase or a staircase with landings.

I think once you've seen a cat slip through or a child squeeze past the stair guard and hang on the stairs, you don’t want open stairs anymore. Personally, I also find the tapered steps very unpleasant—though of course, that’s up to everyone’s own preference. For me, walking on a straight staircase or one with a landing feels much more comfortable. Yes, you’re good. If I could wish for something, I’d pick a curved staircase with a 4m (13 feet) diameter and a nostalgic wrought-iron railing. But that’s not what we’re discussing here. A half-turn, single-flight staircase for a 2x2m (6.5x6.5 feet) area is needed. Also, a landing is not an option!

I think it looks nice. I like it...This is actually a different staircase, which is why it appears narrower, but it is probably more appealing because the color and decoration are understated.

Stairs are just one of those things that give me the creeps (see attachment - I get creeped out by that too. However, a masonry central stringer makes a big difference—then you don’t look through an open shaft where a railing built into the stair structure stands like a sculpture made of square steel tubes. For cats, risers are a must; I agree on that. With these two details, the same stair layout looks completely different from the scary picture.
With a landing and thus no spiral, the staircase would practically grow by the depth of the landing (or a bit more), which would change the floor plan significantly.
As I said, feel free to build it exactly as drawn.
