Yes, a spiraling staircase can be designed with a central post, commonly referred to as a central column or newel post. A central post provides structural support to the staircase, acting as the core around which the steps and handrail spiral. It also helps distribute the weight of the staircase and ensures stability. Spiraling staircases with central posts are often seen in various architectural styles and can be found in residential, commercial, and public buildings.
