I have a small hair salon space, first floor salon space is roughly 1,500 SF and then there are stairs leading to an owner's private office/tlt on the second floor, approx. 300 sf. I'm trying to figure out the best solution for how to access the space. Currently the base of stairs is open to the salon below. It's walled in on the sides and has room for the handrails to extend 1'-0" and then you enter the salon. At the top of the stairs there is a vestible with a 5' turnaround before entering the office. The downside to this is the vestibule takes up a lot of space. They need to be able to keep the upstairs space locked with a door.
Can I put in a pocket door at the base of the stairs? It would be just past the handrail extensions, but it wouldn't allow for a "landing" if the door is in the closed position.
Since this is a private office upstairs, do I need a 5' turnaround at the top of the stairs?
