Space by the stairs?

[fezz]

90x90 is an OK turning area.

Depending a bit on other design aspects around it, it can limit how large objects you can move up/down the stairs.
But this applies to an L-staircase as well.

You can also see that 90x90 area as a landing, and it's common to have the same side as the staircase width on landings in ordinary staircases in small houses.

Yes, and that's the way I've been thinking. I've tried googling for rules to adhere to regarding the area in front of the staircase, without really finding anything. That's partly why I posted a message here.

It's nice that so many are getting involved

When I managed this myself a number of years ago, I believe I found some rules.
The big question is whether I can find it again today.

But there were rules and guidelines about height so you don't hit your head, various widths, where to measure the walkway, ...
Yes, various things, and the size of landings and turning areas should have been included.

But I feel quite sure that it is sufficient with the same depth as the width of the stairs.
The question is more whether you can take an extra decimeter at the top and bottom and use it to make an easier-to-climb staircase.

Like Mikael_L, I believe that 90x90 is OK as a turning area provided that it corresponds to an opening on the side that lacks a door. I don't think there are definitive rules on this other than that a staircase in a single-family home must be at least 90 cm wide. However, like Åsa Lund and Mikael_L, I think it's an unsuitable solution.
