Did anyone watch the Stirling awards earlier this evening. In the house
that had been nominated they had a cantilevered staircase that was open
to the side. As far as I can see this contravenes building regs. How did
they ever get it approved?

Do you imagine that it has been approved? "This is a clever
development by an architect-client couple for a mix of uses including
their home and office. It is on five floors over a basement and
completely fills its corner site." The key words in that sentence are
architect-client couple, which in my experience means two people who
are incredibly arrogant and think the Building Regulations don't apply
to them.
