Bottom Stairway Building Code Problem

 
 

The bottom of this set of stairs looks extremely nice with a rounded treads and risers. I love the use of the white risers with the stained wood stair treads.

I really don't see a need for the column on the right. If it is a decorative column it would have looked better at the base of the stairs. Sitting on top of the stair landing it creates an obstacle while walking up and down the stairs.

Now you are probably wondering why this stairway doesn't meet most building codes. Number one reason being the stairway does not have a guard rail or a grip able handrail on the left side of the stairs.

Number two reason being it does not have a continuous grip able handrail running the full length of the stairway.
