A birds eye view tend to work better with the orthographic full overview. I try to position them at about 30 deg for a true isometric.

Block, raise, unblock.

This looks like a really dangerous stair layout. I would not do this. Also, these three risers likely kick in the need for a handrail. Will you have handrail on each opposite side? My suggestion is to design away from this configuration.

In WUI areas I have not been asked for a one hour wall assembly unless the fire code demanded it for buildings inside of 10' separation.
