The problem is the 2nd staircase creates the need for a hallway between the staircases. Look at the floor plans in the article.
In one you've got units clustered around a staircase landing.
In the other you've got a long hallway and 2 staircases with units along the hallway.
- Grakel 5y agoYes and when the fire alarm goes off every family crushes into that tiny space and tries to get down one staircase. Not to mention countless other bad situations. There's qualitative reasons not to maximize this. Build up one more floor, problem solved.
- Pxtl 5y agoRemember the limit is only 2 storeys for a single stairwell. How many storeys can you have with 2? 6 storeys? 12? So you can somehow get a zillion floors of people down 2 stairwells, but only one floor of people down one?
