This image shows one solution for dealing with a staircase
that is between walls for part of the stair. The chosen solution has the
stair being sized width wise to accommodate the railing with balusters to
be fully inside the walls at the start of the flight. The railing is
centered over the stringer, this was taken into consideration when
laying out the stairs as the stair needed to be narrow enough to fit
between the walls and further narrowed to allow the railing to function
inside as well. The layout had to allow the railing to overhang the
stringer while still allowing a full hand grip on the railing without
getting fingers pinched between the wall and the hand railing. The
railing is 3" wide and the stringer is 1 1/4" wide making the
railing overhang 7/8" on each side of the stringer. One must further
allow for finger room between the rail and the wall further reducing the
width of the stair within the opening. Normally when a housed
stringer is used, it will "hook" up over top of the main floor
in this instance however the nosing was to go right a across and the
standard hook was removed to facilitate this. Note the railing was
returned into the wall at the top.
