My guess: I think the better word would be stairwell - an indoor or outdoor 
stairway used for accessing different floors, but not part of the floor 
/building itself. Often times stairwells have access limitations, as opposed to 
a doorway opening inside to a single floor.

This door and it’s stairwell do not directly access anything other than the 
stair itself - like a long stairwell in a parking structure, an apartment 
complex, or other structure that is attached to another structure for means of 
accessing the different floors.   I guess.

But I’m not sure how it would be used when rendering entrances yet.
