Under the renovation guidelines supplied by HDB, we cannot touch the staircase as it is considered a structural item. However, some people have been able to change the orientation for the bottom part of their staircase. Such changes will require a PE to endorse first before HDB will approve. In addition, such changes are not cheap. 4-figure sum. HTH's.
