I would have to lie if I claimed that I now had a clear idea of the situation.
This is now a very poor graphic (not to scale and stolen from another thread, sorry) and maybe it doesn’t even help, but the stair was planned this way to have headroom.
The lower edges of the "stair overhang = floor and landing in the upper floor room" are also beveled to ensure greater headroom.
If we now take only two steps in the upper turn instead of three, then the floor and the "landing" in the upper floor above the staircase must be raised by about 18.5 cm (for headroom), so we then lose some storage space. The consultant thinks that only two steps in the turn at the top is better, as there would be a larger tread surface; my question is how big is the safety gain, or rather, will the natural gait be too much impaired with only two steps in the upper area.
Sorry, questions upon questions, I hope it is somewhat understandable.
