Hello,
we have the following problem.
We are currently renovating an old building and are now in the final stages of planning the staircase.
I have attached the drawings.
The problem is that we wanted a staircase that is not too narrow and with the largest possible tread depth.
But since we have a beam in one spot, which our staircase builder apparently did not fully take into account, I am not sure which version we should choose.
We would like the 26 cm tread, but then the staircase would not comply with DIN and from the second step it would be quite close to the beam.
The beam is at 231.9 cm. The second step has a height of 39 cm. But since it is under the beam, it should just fit. However, I am afraid that it might look too cramped and rather like a cellar staircase.

With the shorter tread of 25 cm, I am afraid that it might feel too short. But it would comply with the standard and, unlike the other staircase, it would meet the DIN requirements.

Until recently I was absolutely sure that we would take the 26 cm tread. But after the staircase builder remeasured after the screed, unfortunately the step dimension rule no longer fits and it would no longer be DIN compliant. However, the staircase would still be very comfortable to walk on.
I am confused right now and don’t know what to do. I think I’m just overthinking it, aren’t I?
