Architecture firm Andrey Sokruta Workshop has designed a modern home in Kiev, Ukraine, that includes an illuminated staircase.

Since each tread in the wood staircase has an overhang (or nosing) which extends past the riser, a thin strip of LED lighting can be placed underneath, providing a warm glow to the stairs.

The rest of the home includes wood-like tiles on the exterior and interior, panoramic windows, black lighting designed to look like two sheets of metal bent in a chaotic geometry, a living room with a large blue sofa, and a kitchen with matte black accents.

Let’s take a look around…
