I don't know about under stairs but I remember seeing some stairs with built in drawers once, found these similar ones on the net:

This was posted recently. Coincidentally I had been planning something along the same lines, but simpler, to store a vacuum cleaner and tools at the foot of my staircase.
There's a lot of potential space under a staircase; the trick is to make it accessible. In my last house I made three bays, each with its own door, underneath the length of the stair. Plywood bulkheads between them helped to provide the structural strength which I may have lost by replacing the existing wooden panelling with hinged doors. One of the doors (at the bottom end) was made in two parts, piano-hinged together, to allow the maximum width of opening while avoiding obstructing a corridor when the door was opened.

are you talking enclosed or open !!
side entrance or end entrance !!!
and do not even consider altering the treads themself [steps]as the tread and riser work as a unit to give strength
