Encountered a similar problem back in the 90s when my employer converted an alleyway between two of our buildings into a social space. To make full use of the space, a loft was built but the stairs and the loft were both build with a metal mesh, making the view from below often embarrassing for those above. I don't know who was the architect but I know the design, including stair prototype, was signed off by our president and the head of my department, both of whom were women. In our case, an opaque layer in a contrasting color was added below, which made for a visually interesting design that proved difficult to keep clean.
