Not a photo yet, but will be later this year. I used the set of plans I bought and modeled the whole thing in CAD, redesigning where I wanted to or needed to. I do this to proof out the “buildability” of the whole thing, and to figure all the material list detail. Shown here is the staircase with its plank balusters, and the ceiling vault integrated into the trusses above it. All key subs are committed and scheduled, and we will clear the lot beginning May 1.

Curved walls up and down? It is a pretty setup and I wish you luck.
As for the surface of the curved walls, if that is what I am seeing at the landings of the stairs, I would probably use wood in a T&G fashion rather than drywall.
I've got an S curve I put on my construction of a wall intersection that I double bent 1/4 inch in two layers. Pretty thankless work considering I had to skim coat and hand sand the curve to make it presentable.
Consider your options. Inexpensive material lots of labor or expensive material lesser labor.
Nice work Mr. M ............what kind of CAD do you use?
The CAD program is Baystate Technology's Cadkey. Pretty much the same features of full 3-D AutoCad.
