This project attempted to use a variety of art glass windows to thematically link some very complicated plan relationships. If you look at the shot of the family room, you can see the locations of each of the windows. In the upper left hand corner you can just make out a 6 foot by 16" arched glass dormer which is floating in a barreled ceiling. The small windows are on each side of the front door, and the 3 foot round window can be seen in the upper right side of the family room. The theme was established in the iron work on the front door, strong swirling organic forms. These were then adapted to the dormer glass, and come to fulfillment in the familyroom, where the pattern had to adapt to the gridding present in the sdls. The glass artist, my neighbor, William Petro, spends a lot of time composing his themes by seeing the context the glass will eventually inhabit. This influences the design and the color scheme. He then installs them on site to be sure everything is secure. A wonderful service a number of my clients have enjoyed and a great way to personalize your home.
