Turnaround stairs

A long time ago, when I was planning the Heritage, I wanted to use a turnaround staircase. I first saw this type of staircase in the Franklin Mint Heartland Hollow house that belonged to fellow Greenleaf member Jenn (Elsbeth). I was not able to use these in the Heritage for lack of floor space, but I always planned to use them someday. Well, that time has come!
My initial plan for the Spring Fling involved a spiral staircase, but the turnaround stairs offer a better solution. Lyssa built a set of these in her Undersized Urbanite entry, so she's done some of the heavy lifting for me already.
I started with a Houseworks narrow staircase kit. I used a coping saw to cut two sections: one with three steps and one with six steps. I built a box for the landing from scrap wood. This is the basic structure. I will finish the front, top and sides of the box when I get to the decorating phase.
Yes, the Spring Fling kit is a single story, one room structure. But, now you know that my build requires a staircase.
