Staircase name

9 years ago

Can anyone tell me what kind of staircase this is? I always thought it was called a box staircase, I think I'm wrong. It's my favorite, and not many pics of stairs like this on Houzz. TIA!

Hello, and thank you for your interest in the staircase shown. The interior design details, window seat, and woodworking shown were designed by me, however I did not plan the architectural layout itself, which consists of a straight flight, the landing shown, and another straight flight opening up to a large second floor hallway.

I looked up staircases in two different reference books for architectural details, however I could not find a specific name for this type of layout. I do not think it's the box winder style which you had mentioned.

If you are interested, you may be able to get some useful details from two books:
"More Period Details...The House Renovator's Bible", by Judith Miller, and also, "The Elements of Style" edited by Stephen Calloway. These are the two that I referred to.

One possibility would be to swap the living room and the dining room. Since the current living room is larger than the current dining room you could still keep some comfortable seating (couch and upholstered chairs?) against the front wall for a keeping room/dining concept. Then your new dining areas (kitchen and dining room) and living areas (living and drawing room) would have good flow between them, which would work well both for family and entertaining. You could also add some builtin bookshelves in the drawing room or new living room to create a library area to add another fun element to the living areas. These bookshelves could be against the long walls in the drawing room, around the window with a window seat in the living room (former dining room), or built to create some separation in the open area between the drawing room and living room/stair area. Your plan seems to show some sort of builtin there, but I'm not sure what it is.

hello...I would like to suggest that for the balconies, close out the single doors and convert the walls into full length french doors for a contemporary look. also, the opening to the balcony from the puja room can be closed and can be made from the bedroom instead. that way the privacy of the pooja room is maintained

Dear 'The Nakshewala', This residence is in Jaipur done by me and my friend together. So please stop lying and misguiding people here on Houzz with your fake clients name and fake description. Your bad grammar here also implies that you are far away from even thinking such a beautiful design. Now, Kindly remove this post and image from here and your profile. Also remove that stupid water mark from there and make sure not to repeat this ever again in future. DO IT. - Ar. Ravi Prakash
