Please help me enclose my office without destroying my front entry!

I would like to add some french doors to this opening to close off this space so that I can work at home without too much noise from the kids.
My Dilemma is how to handle the stairs protruding into the opening.

I think the best approach is to remove the railing and portion of the stairs that protrudes into the space, I would then install the french doors with a transom above and a custom sidelight above the stairs. The french doors are about 4 inches wider then the floor opening between the stairs and the opening opposite.

I would greatly appreciate any advice y'all might have. I desperately need to close this area off, but I also need a solution that doesn't destroy the design of the entry or look like an afterthought.

Thanks in advance!
