    Dog-leg (stairs)

    A dog-leg is a configuration of stairs between two floors of a building, often a domestic building, in which a flight of stairs ascends to a half-landing before turning 180 degrees and continuing upwards. The flights do not have to be equal, and frequently are not.

    Structurally, the flights of a dog-leg stair are usually supported by the half-landing, which spans the adjoining flank walls.

    From the design point of view, the main advantages of a dog-leg stair are:

  • To allow an arrangement that occupies a shorter, though wider, floor area than a straight flight, and so is more compact. Even though the landings consume total floor space, there is no large single dimension.
  • The upper floor is not directly visible from the bottom of the stairs, thereby providing more privacy.
  • An object or person falling from the upper half of the stairs is likely to stop at the landing; this is safer than letting it fall all the way to the bottom.

    Take A Look

    by: Natalie Cole

    Take a look in the mirror, look at yourself
    But don't you look too close
    'Cause you just might see the person
    That you hate the most
    Lord, what's happening to this human race
    I can't even see one friendly face
    Brothers fight brothers and sisters wink their eyes
    While silver tongues bear fruits of poison lies
    Take a look at your children born innocent
    Every boy and every girl
    Denying themselves a real chance
    To build a better world
    Oh, ohh dear Lord, what's happening to your precious dream?
    I think its washin' away on a bloody, bloody stream, yes
    Take a look at your children
    Before it's too late, and tell them nobody
    Nobody wins when the prize is hate
    Oh, no, no, no it's not too late
    We gotta tell all of our children
    That love, love, love is the way
