Stairway to heaven

An oft ignored area of the home in terms of adding interesting lighting, stairways are full of potential for adding a statement. ‘This staircase was designed with a gap between the surrounding stair walls and the steps and landings,’ says Jan Norman, architect, 23+GS/318. ‘LED strip lights were designed to be concealed within the edge of the steps and landings, giving the appearance that the solid travertine stair is suspended within space. The effect of low level lighting employed here is one of subtlety, a ribbon of light that leads you through the house.
