Building Construction 1
Planning Stair Types & Shapes
Stairs that stop at a landing and turn 90 or 180 degrees take up less space
and can be safer and easier to traverse. Because of this, stairs with a landing—
L-shaped or U-shaped stairs—are often preferred where space allows.
A straight staircase that ascends directly from one floor to the next is the
easiest (and usually the most affordable) to build but can be somewhat
formidable to climb.
