Hi,
I'm hoping to do a DIY loft conversion. The stairs up to the loft is in quite a tight space but I've trawled the local planning applications and seen an unusual (but efficient) staircase design that I may replicate. Attached is a PDF with the plan and a pictures from my flat.
The staircase is a double winder style that winds over the existing main 'up' stairs with a quarter landing over an existing hallway.
One wall is an external brick wall, the other wall is a stud wall. What I can't get my head around is one edge of the half landing and 2xwinder stair (treads 9, 10 & 11) has no wall to support it on the far side.
In the picture they would be hovering across the stair well seen on the right and a little down the hall from the door just in picture on the left.
Anyone knowledgeable in the arts of staircases able to help me and suggest how these may be supported?
Many thanks,
L.A.
