Well, it's a stair in wood from the first floor to the second. I have
made a small drawing of it on
http://hem.passagen.se/d98rolb3/upload/stair.gif.
The tricky part is the two corners as you guess. I think we need some
advice before we succeed with this project.

you can get 3 treads in a corner winder. looks like you are trying to
get 7

that's a little different from what I posted- they're calculating
tread width at 12" from the inside edge rather than from the
centerline of the straight runs. it's also a 180 degree winder rather
than a 90 degree winder, though I suspect that that wouldn't make any
difference.
I've definitely seen them passed with less than 6" of tread width at
the inboard end. inspectors seem to be more concerned with the rise
and run being consistent at the path where you actually walk.
it's really nothing more than a short section of a circular staircase
in the middle of a straight run. and yes, they are a pain for moving
furniture.
the last one I built the winder pulled the owner/builder out of a
tight spot. she wanted 2 straight runs and a landing, but there wasn't
enough room- it would have left the bottom tread sticking out into a
doorway. she had some choice words for the designer about that. in
the end I think it worked well, both in terms of convenience of use
and aesthetically- the stairwell is exposed and the winder makes a
graceful curve through space in a room that is otherwise fairly
rectilinear.

(Roland=A0Bengtsson) wants to know:
Is there any information how I can build my own corner stair of wood in
a house?
More details would have cut the list down some.

Roland,
It is not possible to turn stairs that sharply and comply with the UBC or
whatever code your area uses. I would recommend putting a landing in each
corner to make the turn. It appears from your drawing that there is plenty
of room for that approach.

It does not matter how many tread you have on the curve you can not get
enough tread width on the inside corner. It has to have a landing or a
much more gentle curve.

I don't have any code books at home and it has been a long time since I
have done any residential work. I did find this diagram that shows the
requirements for a circular stair section. I personally would not
recommend what they are saying here.
http://www.codecheck.com/pg07_08building.html#fb14windingstairs
I guess this is a minamum for residential stair framing. Pity the guys
who have to move the furniture.

your codes may be different than Arizona's or California's.
in both of those places I have built and had passed by inspectors
staircases with corner winders.
tread width for a winder is measured at an arc corresponding with the
centerline of the straight runs.
I posted a quick sketch showing tread layout in
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. the red line is the centerline of
the straight runs....
