We removed the existing original steep staircase and rebuilt a much more gentle stair. The stair used to arrive at a narrow landing with an even more narrow walkway going around each side. Next to the walkways were closets and a bathroom. We moved the bathroom, opened up the space on one side, and turned the other unnecessary walkway into a larger closet. Along with brighter walls and new windows, the top of the stairs is now a light filled space to relax in and enjoy.
