Some time ago, we renovated the laundry room. During that, we removed the small old staircase. Now we need (I need) to make a new staircase with slightly different conditions than the old one. See pictures:
I'm completely stuck here due to the pipes on how to make a small staircase with 1 or 2 steps. So now I'm turning here. What ideas do you have? Best idea (preferably with a little neat drawing even if scribbled on a napkin) will be rewarded with a mental high-five and maybe a reward in the mail!
What is it about the pipes that you find "troubling"?
I would probably look into installing some angle brackets (or whatever is deemed appropriate) on the wall that the upper step can rest on. Then the depth of the step should cover the pipes so that a second step can lie "outside" and then lower down. It's difficult to use the existing edge as a step without extending it past the pipes in some way.

It's difficult to use the existing edge as a step, as it must be extended past the pipes somehow.
What's "troublesome" is that the pipes are a bit out from the wall. My first thought was to make some stringers but the pipes are in the way.
Yes, the highest step needs to be quite deep so that it goes over the pipes, and maybe some angle brackets could work there.
to get a suitable staircase that you don't trip on, you want the steps to be 250mm deep, which means the staircase becomes 50cm deep.
I quickly drew up a design in SketchUp on how I would have built it, using MDF to construct it and making 3 stringers.
according to your measurements, you can make the staircase much shallower and have the steps around 15cm deep as well.
