II. Basic Requirements
1. Staircase Position
Townhouse staircase design
- The staircase must be built in a suitable location, for easy access to all rooms in the house
- The staircase location should have ample space, convenient for movement without being obstructed by other furniture items
- The staircase must have sufficient lighting to ensure safety when moving around at night and would be even better with direct ventilation from outside the house.
2. Staircase Width

- The staircase must be wide enough for anyone to move without difficulty
- The width of the staircase depends on the construction location and can be flexibly adjusted according to the style of the house
- In typical homes, staircases are usually about 1m wide. However, in public places, staircases must be wide, ranging from 1.5 - 2m.
3. Staircase Length

To ensure aesthetic appeal and easy movement, the number of steps on each flight of stairs should not be less than 3 and no more than 12. If the number of steps required is more than 12, then a landing should be designed.
4. Staircase Incline

Regardless of the type of staircase you choose, the incline should not exceed 37 degrees; otherwise, the steps will be very difficult and even dangerous to navigate.
5. Distance to Ceiling

A minimum distance of 2m is required between the staircase and the ceiling to ensure easy movement for taller individuals.
6. Handrail or Banister
A beautiful and professional staircase must have a handrail or banister to ensure safety during movement, especially in open spaces. The handrail must also have suitable dimensions and shapes for easy gripping.
7. Step Dimensions

The dimensions of the steps depend on the user's preferences. The distance between each step must also be uniform to ensure smooth walking.
8. Curved Staircase
If space permits, avoid using curved staircases, as they not only pose a safety risk but also increase construction costs.
