Stairs - Are the stair dimensions 2.00x2.00m okay?

The slope is about 36°. This should still be OK. You can't really change much anyway if there is no more space for the stairs. I personally don't like these narrow, half-turned stairs.

Unfortunately, that's how it looks. If we enlarge the stairs to the left, the smallest children's room upstairs will get even smaller (the kitchen wouldn't matter), and to the right, the bathroom upstairs or downstairs would lose the pantry.

Thanks to you too for the information. The answers reassure me.

19/26 is an average measure for the optimal walkability of stairs. That's how I learned it.

The 63 cm were the standard for a long time. Nowadays, people sometimes go up to 65 cm (people are also getting taller).

Yes, we are no longer the pygmies that desk heights were once based on. But we are not only getting taller, but also older (and then grateful for less steep stairs).

If we enlarge the staircase to the left, the smallest children's room upstairs becomes even smaller (the kitchen wouldn't matter) and to the right the bathroom upstairs or downstairs would lose the pantry.

Accordingly, is no longer the newest design?

...the staircase is passable, the mitre of the steps should be okay; but there are better designed staircases.

Yes, we are no longer the pygmies by whom desk heights were once measured. But we are not only getting taller, we are also getting older (and then grateful for less steep stairs).


Therefore, is no longer the latest design ?

The floor plan on the linked page 6 was version 0. The still current design would be the first post at that link.

I am currently questioning here in the forum the points where I have recently been unsure or things I did not fully understand. The more I read into other threads here, the more often I realize how disastrous it can be if you have not questioned something trivial like a stair dimension, which can lead to planning errors.

I think it's good that you also read the neighboring threads: often you get completely new perspectives. Unfortunately, very few people do that, so the same mistakes are often made. And sometimes you realize in a new discussion that many people don't even think about why they want this or that room there or exactly like that.
