Yes, but extraordinarily few homes are able to convert these so that a person feels like they are sitting in a piece of art--such as the Benson homepage that treats the staircase like a sculpture in a gallery.
This "look at these lovely lines" approach is a very different than we normally see. Most homes with a striking staircase use the staircase to send a message of grandeur or power--think Tara, or Downtown Abbey, or a McMansion. (I don't say this to dis Tara or the others, only to highlight the difference)
