Convert component stair to sketch, draw desired shape, use stepped underside surface and give 2, 3 feet for structural depth.

Don't you think the best design is that your porch slab sits on your brick walls.... actually extending over them slightly to create a drip?

Actually, here in VA, we use, what we call a "Rowlock" around the porch/stoop peremiter like this photo.

And/but I did not draw that.

I wanted to be clear in showing that the cantilever in the beams, because of where the columns are, did not pass code.

Thanks!

Here, that detail doesn't work.   Because water gets between the brick and the slab, freezes and expands blowing out the brick.

I just didn't like how the steps met the wall.  The rowlock would help except when I see that detail down there, typically there is a brick pier at the ends of the step and the concrete steps flow into the concrete stoop.  You never step on the brick.
