I have an existing staircase from the 1st to the 2nd floor which I want to alter. In order to create more space on the 1st floor for an en suite I want to install a winder staircase like this one -

What I am struggling with is how to assess the head height required and how much this will intrude into the room above. I want to minimise this as it is an eaves bedroom and already quite small. I know building regs require 2m clearance from the stair slope but I am having trouble visualising this. Can anyone help?
thanks
