Stylistically...way cool! Depending on your style this modern elevator and stair case would work well. I like the idea of a wrought iron staircase and old fashioned elevator with an accordion gate. Can't think of any cons except budget! [houzz=][houzz=]

Rajesh--I would consult with a designer/architect in your part of the world to correct the reiling deficiency. I cannot speak to building codes in what I am guessing is the far east, but your local architect can. Attachment of the railing, to the floor and to the stairs, in terms of rigidity and support are important, as the rail will slope by the steps, and need to transition to a straight rail at the landing, and terminate into the white wall at the landing. Also, the architect can verify that the steps meet codes in terms of rise and run and the gaps btw. the steps, which would not pass code here in the U.S. I cannot see the while inside wall as you ascend the stair, so all I can suggest is installing a nice piece of art, possibly a triptych, of something culturally fitting for your part of the world. I wish you well in your design pursuits.

Hi Satya, Guessing the work is almost complete, and you cannot make any changes to the architectural plans. In that case, a good design will save you from many challenges. For example in the dining room, which is your main area of concern, place a smaller 6 seater with two seats at the end of the table , or use materials like glass top with a slim wooden base and use light chairs . A neutral light colour will enhance the lighting and make the room visually larger, specially since you have a large window. Also think of using bench seating on the side which is narrower . If the structure is not complete, think of pushing out the bay window to the outer wall and enhancing the space inside for a larger dining room . A balcony might need not be as necessary as a good dining area which is not claustrophobic. Thanks, Smitha

Hello there, Absolutely no problems with language. I got that. You could shift the dining table adjacent to Kitchen and use the rest of the place as Living area. Also, you could cover the under-stair area into a TV/entertainment unit with storage cum bookshelf. Since it is a large area, some niches for decor could be planned too.
