‘GOOD MORNING’ STAIRCASE -
refers to the layout of the stair and not the style inasmuch as
the main stair ascends to a landing and then splits in two opposite
directions, mirroring each other. These stair sections, upon reaching
the balcony, connect the left wing of the house with the right wing.
‘Good Morning’ stairs may be further enhanced with additional
landings before reaching the balcony sections. This application
is quite beautiful when constructed in a large foyer of two or more
stories. Traditionally built in the grand tradition of affluent
estates and mansions during the Industrial Revolution, it received
its name when the two heads of the household would meet on the main
landing from their respective wings and join each other in greeting
the day. |
