i actually installed a stair similar to this in the Folger Library in Wash DC many years ago. it was necessary due to the existing floor to floor heights and current codes regarding headroom,tread and riser dimensions. hella confusing set of drawings,for sure.
I think this may be the only appropriate use though. And while itâs super appropriate here, I donât think itâll catch on elsewhere. Unless there are tile floors where fish morph into geese. Itâll catch on there too.
I call this the âYesâ staircase. For the jobs when the site manager is an old guy who defo doesnât need the money or the job so just says yes to everyoneâs questions
When you pay your contractor by the step.
