Ruby staircase
No danger of kids falling off bannisters
See large window behind to light up the wraparound staircase
The staircase and elevator area are also used to bring colour and pattern into the home
See staircase from a distance and imagine a lift shaft to the right. Since Lift shaft will be situated outside the staircase footprint, the effect should be fairly open...
This staircase is probably occupying around 13 feet. The Lift shaft will block about 6 feet and 4 feet will be the stair width. clear vertical space will only be 3 feet. And view of staircase from room and vice versa will be only 7 feet, the rest will be blocked by the Lift shaft...
Such a curving staircase sited opposite the pooja room. Total stair run of 20 feet without landings. Bent into elongated C to fit into 13 feet width of the Dining area. Total width will be about 10 feet for staircase width of 4 feet.. 5 of these 10 feet can be within the footprint of the house and 5 will curve outside the house. since only one side landing is required, let the staircase start rising from Radha vadina bedroom side. On the opposite side we can have the lift.
such a staircase to reach on top of the water tank on the terrace?

The old fashioned wall bulstrade?
See staircase railings for use near servant quarter
see stepped windows
Perhaps on the terrace floor?
A bonsai is more than a tiny tree in a pot. The Japanese adapted the skill of bonsai, which means “tree in a tray,” centuries ago from Chinese penjing, scaled-down potted landscapes often with figurines. Bonsai focuses on growing a single tree and is more formal and minimalist. The leisurely craft mingles horticulture, art and sculpture with the ability to slow down and work with nature. See why you should bring a little bonsai serenity into your life and how to get started.
The stair well can be rounded and continuous without a landing area. Lift to a side. Will 13 feet accomodate this? 6 feet for lift and 7 for staircase? will it look nice? Or envelop the lift with the staircase - in this case the exterior elevation will be curved and the continuous climb may shorten the run.
Make sure all the stairs have sides like this. Otherwise, when we wash the stairs, the water will flow all over the place.
This could be one route out of the house. From the house to potting room to garden.
If we are having a long run straircase - i;e no steps in the wide side - which would give us about 13 feet wide landing, then the 3 landings should be used for display, storage and seating. But perhaps we should use this 13 feet run to climb 3.5 feet and bring down the staircase area run.
If I want rounded portico, may be I should consider C shaped staircase like this that wraps around the lift shaft. 6 feet on either side should give 3 feet rise each. Add 3 feet landing on either side of the horizontal 6 feet of steps to give another rise of 3 feet. Total rise 9 feet. lenghtwise run of staircase is 9 feet (6+3) and widthwise run is 12 feet (3+6+3)
This staircase also has an edging to enable washing.
