Probably so that the 3 hinges can be at the standard heights on the tall side of the door. The short side would have cut off the top hinge. But yeah, would have been nicer to chisel out custom spacing for the hinges on the short side

That would look better but the tall end of the door would be smacking into the sloped ceiling constantly?

Also a good observation but I'm not sure it would be a big hindrance. It would need to be 90 degrees to open before encountering the ceiling which is only a tiny bit less than where it currently hits those stairs., You'd probably want a stopper there to protect both door and ceiling. Maybe even put one on the ceiling itself. For an already off room that might look kinda cool.

Oh that's a good call out for sure. But also if they put this foot frame in does it matter? Genuine question, Ive only ever installed pre-framed doors. This obviously wasn't a pre fram so would it even matter where you put the hinges? Like hypothetically couldn't you frame, then cut the door to frame spec, then figure out ideal hinge placement before mounting?
