A small bathroom leaded glass skylight ceiling in classic style with clear beveled glass, acid etched glass was designed to add character and ambient light to a master bathroom of a custom-built house in Toronto. With direct sunlight, the beveled glass elements transform light into an extraordinary spa-like experience. For the same client we also installed large oval stained and leaded glass skylight for an oval hallway

Contemporary stained glass front door design for the entrance door system to add privacy, character, and beauty to the house.  The client expressed an interest to have “all happy colors” as an accent color for the door. 

The old-style classic design disconnected with a door system was replaced with a new contemporary stained glass front door panel connected to the transom and sidelight by design

The clear textured glass used creates rich deep texture in the background, so bright accent jewels pop up and play a major role in this composition.

Contemporary stained and leaded glass skylight ceiling was designed for a modern custom-built home in Toronto. Double height atrium staircase crowned by a minimal design stained glass skylight.

Large stained and leaded glass skylight ceiling with crystal chandelier for a double-height great living room floods the living space with natural light. The decorative glass ceiling was inspired by Great Britain’s classic residences. The stained and leaded glass skylight design is developed based on a simple geometric pattern with hand beveled clear and blue beveled glass. Crystal chandelier is suspended from the center of the glass ceiling. For the same house we developed an oval stained and leaded glass dome above the oval staircase and small octagon leaded glass skylight for the hallway. The interior design was developed by London (UK) / Toronto (Canada) based Timothy Mather Design. More images of this project can be found on Timothy Mather’s website.
