When Fraher Architects were designing the renovation of this London home they included a unique stair lighting detail that improves safety and makes the look of the American Black Walnut staircase that much more original.

Hidden lighting in the tops of the built-in handrails light up the staircase and make the handrail easier to find both at night and during the day.
