A client of mine came to me with an interesting design challenge. He wanted a staircase for a loft that was 9' off the main floor. Sounds easy enough, but there was a catch. He only wanted it to come out into the room a maximum of 8' and did not want a spiral staircase. The answer... lapeyre style stairs with alternating steps. All the treads were mortised into the stringers and pegged. Reclaimed "Piss Stained" Doug Fir.
