Thanks for your help. I opted for an L shaped ready made steel stair case for ground floor & a dog legged stair case for the top floors. The space below the stair case in GF can be used for show case & TV. The circular stair case was occupying almost the same space, but the space below the steps couldn't have any much use & also it might have been inconvenient for daily use.

Hi Anshul The staircase seems fine, not sure about the clear height you get though. Here are a few tips to make it look spacious: 1. Go for lighter colours for stone flooring and walls 2. Add mirrors for wall decor. 3. The central atrium formed, suspend a lighting fixture or sculpture. For any further discussion, feel free to contact us. Best, The Lazy Owl Designs

Hi Nitish, Firstly, treat the area for termites i.e. make it termite proof. Since termites harvest in moist conditions, putting in planters or any kind of woodwork without any treatment will be useless. Once you have treated the area you can proceed to utilize it for different purposes. There are a number of ways in which the area under a staircase can be utilized. In case of a cramped house or space restrictions, this space can be used for providing storage, services or even a powder room as elaborated below : In case there are no space constraints and all the other areas are taken care of, the space below the stairs can be used for add ons such as a library, study, cellar or a minibar. In case there are any dogs in the house, this area serves as a spacious and compact kennel too : Apart from this, if the space is to be treated solely considering aesthetics, it can be livened up using a bit of indoor landscaping, sculptures and water body : Hope these ideas help. Do let us know what you decided to choose. All the best! Regards, RnD Atelier Nagpur

Pawan, Your dilemma is difficult to resolve without a site inspection. Please hire a professional to get an advice. a) It may be feasible to retain the flooring and pipe. However if you have a couple of spare tiles it would help. b) Subject to site inspection. Floor plan may help as well. Feel free to connect with us on the numbers provided on our profile.
