015 - The Tower View

It would be an interesting place to put the stairs, but it would be tough not to block up the windows with the staircase.

I still have the window punch-outs and could glue them back in. I'm thinking of making them small oval windows that are placed to follow the stairs.......... Just thinking.

First I would have to find a suitable circular stairway to fit the space. I saw a DIY posting somewhere for a circular stairway you could build, but I have not been able to find it again. Should have bookmarked it.

If you made a spiral staircase, it wouldn't block the windows as much. You use parts of a wooden/plastic hand held fan to make the treads, and a dowel for the central post, around which the treads "fan" out. I'll look to see if I can find the link to a tut on this kind of staircase.

Here's one for an Open Rise staircase - not what I was looking for, but you may find it helpful:

Here's another - not quite what I was looking for, but that one may have disappeared!
