This was a formal staircase design popular with new two storey homes built back in the 70's and 80's mainly found in homes 2600 square feet or larger. Many of these homeowners have lived in the dark for years with the lack of light over the stairs down to the foyer.
The home shown in the posted photos was located in Richmond Hill Ontario. I was quickly overwhelmed by darkness the second I walked in through the front door and gave the customer my full confidence that I could transform his stairway and hallway with a 14" Solatube installation.
As shown from the before and after photos, the end result was quite spectacular with the abundance of natural light.
