I am designing and building a 576 sq.ft. straw bale house that has a 120 sq.ft. loft. Space is minimal so adding stairs with the max and mins of the code for risers and treads is unrealistic. Is there a variance that can be granted to allow for steeper stairs based on the square footage they access, etc…? I have seen homes that seem to get around the numbers, but do not know if they are legal. I live in Southern Oregon. Thanks for the input.
