This minimalist staircase resembles a strand of DNA

When people think about building their own home, stairs are probably one of the last things that come to mind. In the end, it's probably more fun to play around with the idea of what your new living room or bedroom will look like, especially with all the Pinterest-worthy design ideas you can find online. But Iranian architect Eisa Ghasemyan recently proved that a staircase can be one of the main design elements in a home that is functional, insanely aesthetic, and inviting at the same time.
