When you locate an "L" shaped staircase in a corner bordered by exterior walls would you balloon frame the exterior walls making up the stairwell? I'm drawing a blank (literally) drafting the framing details between the top plate of the first floor walls and the bottom plate of the second floor walls of the stairwell. The house is otherwise standard platform construction with 2x6 walls. I'd appreciate some guidance.

thanks,
