I'm thinking we'll use the space above the stairs for storage but how to
make the most of it?


What do you want to store? Parts? Boxes? Paperwork? Timber? Sheet
materials?

Is this a single flight of stairs (like you'd get in a normal house), or is
it the kind where the stairs double back at a half-landing where the doors
to two floors are directly above each other? Roughly what are the
dimensions of the stairwell?

And is it part of a redundant fire escape route that will negate your
liability insurance if you remove it?

I would absolutely ask your local fire station fire prevention officer
to cast a beady, and if he oks it ask your insurance companie(s) what
they need for proof that you are all kosher in terms of fire safety,.
