single step trip hazard?

[jfb]

Thinking of a single small step up from entrance hall into main living area in barn conversion.

There will be a door as well, ideally opening into the main space , so at the top of the rise.

 

Can the rise be 100mm, 75mm, 50mm? Or is there a minimum rise allowed by building regs?

I am pretty sure you cant have a door at the top of a step. Anything less than a normal step height (minimum 150) is going to just be a trip hazard. why not google search the building regs

A small rise is annoying/trip hazard. Perhaps just add more floor insulation on the lower area?

 

 I think there must be a "landing" at least 400mm deep between door and rise. That's what we have upstairs.

If you are wondering whether something is a trip hazard : it is.  Design it out.
