I want to put a staircase into the loft of my 2 story house. There is a gap between the staircase from the ground floor to the first floor and the landing on the first floor of about 12 inches. If i don't want my staircase into the loft to be 12 inches wider than the staircase below it i need to have a newel post that floats. I have found a picture that shows what i am trying to describe and wondered if anybody got tell me how the second newel post in the picture is supported as it appears to be floating.

Thanks

It's a common thing, and although it isn't structural it isn't floating, the rails, stairs and post are all interlinked.

I'll try and post a picture of ours later.
