I'm a young architect, and obiviously naive.
I'm doing a house, its got a great stairwell, naturally :), but I'm stumped about how to make the handrail, balustrade look as good as I would like.
When I look to magazines, websites for inspiration I see glorious, flowing staircases that bear no resemblance to the BCA requirements.
How do you do it???

Did you fall down such stairs?
andi, as the great purveyor of all things architecture....help the northerner out put some of your lovely flowing stair pics up....
remember there are no stairs in cabs.....only lifting platforms....
I remember being a student and Timothy Hill showing pics of a house and quite openly stating it was illegal. (?)
Is there a secret handshake I must learn??
I think there's a loophole. The stairs may be classified as shelving.
Mock stairs.

good thing there will always b a place for steps to fall down at the back of police stations.
5 ways this could go:
a) retrofit with chair lifts
b) sliding lateral rails at every 3 steps
c) maximum flight of 3 steps before 1.2m landings, down from 18
d) stair users to wear crampons during climb, with safety lanyard
nice try @ stevies hole -andi.
can there b anything more confusing 2 zombies than coming 2 terms with decomposing as they dissolve into nothing?
stair treads that could hold up a kenworth = just 2 close gap to less than 125mm.
