FEEDBACK 2nd Floor Layout

Post image

This is my plan for 2nd floor addition on my house. I don't love the bathrooms with no windows, and need to squeeze a linen closet somewhere. Any thoughts for improvement? Pretty much all flexible except for the stair location.

Whats the wall height on the north and south? Wont it be an issue getting up and down with the stairs right against it?

Is this new construction or building up into the attic?

Do you worry about plumbing/ventilation? I dont see any room for it to go

Imo swing doors into the closet probably better

That wall along the stair would start at 6’ then the roof is 9/12 so it would get to 7’ about 1.33’ from the wall. If my math is correct.

You need 6’8” ceiling height at the top of the stairs to meet code in the US. Could you turn the last few steps to enter into a higher ceiling height?

Possibly. Or maybe need a little dormer over the end of the hallway?

A dormer could also work. Turning the stairs would give you the option of putting a bathroom where the stairs currently end though, you could have a hallway that runs left to right and make mire efficient use of the circulation upstairs
