I mean personally I fail to see how this whole… thing… is better than like… adding a half inch or whatever to each of the stair rises in the flight on the way up… as long as it doesn’t surpass 7 3/4 inch per-stair rise, which I imagine this doesn’t come close to just by the way it looks, you could probably kill a lot of that weirdness with just super basic alterations…
No, I think this hazard was a conscious decision, or at least the architect who drew it up sucks.
I’m surprised it meets code tho, tbh. This is just begging someone to tumble down the stairs in the middle of the night.
