U Shaped Stairs for Basement Access

[MVNative]

New to the forum, very interested in the 20 x 30 1.5 story plan; I have a lot with well and 1-bedroom septic in place, envision one bedroom down, open loft/office above and cathedral over the living room. I would be building on a full basement for workshop and storage; is is possible to do U-shaped stairs to code going up to the loft, with a matching set below going down to the basement? Has anyone done this? I'm in MA, the code does allow 8" rise with 9" run which would make the stairs more compact than 7"/10". I imagine this topic has been covered elsewhere on the forum-- thanks if you can direct me to relevant discussions, plans and photos!
