CYOA
Back to the plan of having a home office that is more than just a corner of a bedroom. Loft is a great space but dangerous to get up and down from and 3 year old has a real issue with me going up the ladder without him.
I've looked at spiral space saving things but feel they're too dangerous for kiddo so I think the best bet is a full length staircase (though open to something I've missed - still like this a lot but not sure on shipping from Straya https://bcompact.com/bc-hybrid-stairs/)
There's not a lot of room on the landing - landing floor to attic floor height is about 3m. The landing is about 3m wall to balustrade. The party wall to corridor wall is about 2m. To have a proper staircase it'd presumably mean eating into the master bedroom which I'm fine with.
Presuming this means knocking through/removing a wall which runs parallel to party wall right up to the door frame.
The party wall to the edge of door frame into master bedroom is just 26 inches though so it's pretty tight. There's no room on the other side of the door frame to shift the door along to widen it - could make it open plan I guess or a sliding door into the bedroom or something maybe?
What should I be thinking about here? (Apart from just use a different room).
Presuming best bet is to have someone qualified in something relevant come and look / give me some options. A surveyor? Architect? Builder? What kind? What should my search term be on google?
