Staircase "protrudes" into hallway: Problematic?

Hello everyone,

the staircase planning by our architects currently looks like the second to last step already protrudes into the hallway of the upper floor (see attached picture). This means that there is already an approx. 10 cm wide recess in the area of the hallway on the upper floor, where it goes down to the second to last stair step. We are concerned that this could be a kind of "tripping hazard."

How do you see this? Unproblematic or should we definitely avoid this?

Best regards
k.loe

A simple solution would be, for example, to run the handrail around the corner on both sides. The handrail then protrudes into the hallway and would reduce the chance of stepping onto the step. If it is not supposed to be a standard staircase, it might also be possible to shorten the tread depth by 1 cm on each step.

Are you sure that it is the second to last step? To me, it looks more like the last step, which starts approximately at the height of OKFB.

btw: I would move the door to the dressing room slightly to the left because of the wardrobe depth.

Hello, I was also initially confused and did not immediately recognize it on the plans. However, only the second-to-last step is actually drawn, from which it goes up almost another 18 cm to the top edge of the finished floor (step measurement: 17.9/27). I have also attached the separate staircase plan where this can be seen more clearly.

Also, this would also bother me if the staircase is right in front of the bathroom door. You have a spacious staircase, why are the doors "less spacious" in comparison? If you changed the stair width to 1m, it would also become a bit shorter again. Maybe that would then be enough? Door dimensions: 90(w)/>2.10(h) wouldn't be possible?

That would actually be a possible "solution" to go with a stair width of 1.00 m or 1.05 m and then a step width of only 26.5 cm. Then the staircase would be flush with the wall. Basically, however, we would like to stay at 1.10 m for the stair width to have enough "maneuvering space" (the staircase is walled on both sides).

What do you mean by less generous doors? Except in the dressing room, these are planned to be 88 cm wide, and since we are both < 1.75 m tall, we did not find a greater height essential.
