Problem solved.
I’m often amused when I see hand sketched floorplans from folks that have drawn their future home plans on the back of an envelope and I notice how small they have scaled the size of their staircase.
Often these stairs are shown to take up about the same amount of space as a closet, or less. Not once have I seen someone draw the staircase too large, rather they are always too small.
The reality is that staircases are hogs when it comes to eating up our interior square footage.
One trick is to throw the beast outside like this stone building has done.
Of course this does make life “more interesting” when venturing from the bedroom to the kitchen. lol
