# Entry-hall visual consistency audit

Reviewed against the approved V3 ground-floor plan and the aligned basement / first-floor references.

## Fixed plan facts

- Stair core remains in the central bay, immediately north of the centered front entrance.
- The practical concept envelope is approximately 3.0 × 3.3 m.
- Basement, ground-floor and first-floor openings must stack within the same vertical core.
- The first-floor arrival belongs to the central landing / reading nook behind the arched gable window.
- The living room remains open to the west / north-west; the stair cannot migrate into it or block the entry axis.

## Problems in the previous dressed entry-hall images

- Most stairs drift east of the center bay rather than occupying the approved core.
- Several become monumental lobby stairs wider or longer than the available footprint.
- Upper and basement flights often appear as separate scenic openings rather than one vertically coordinated stair shaft.
- Visible riser counts are generally too low for the 2.75 m ground-floor ceiling and the expected structural floor depth.
- Curved concepts use ambiguous wedge treads, interrupted rails or landings without credible headroom.
- Some upper galleries and basement openings lack complete guarding.
- Option 04 wraps the stair around the centered front door, conflicting with the entry axis.
- Option 07 is the strongest fantasy image but the least compatible with the floor plan because the library tower and grand stair consume the central and eastern bays.

## Result

The earlier images remain mood references only. None should be used as a construction or scene-blocking reference. This new staircase study resets the geometry around a compact, stacked three-level core.
