Oval stained and leaded glass dome ceiling with crystal chandelier for an oval staircase delivers natural light in the most aesthetically pleasing style.  There were two decorative glass skylights developed for one large living space.

Large stained and leaded glass square skylight was installed above the double-height great room to bring natural light to space below. The clear ellipse stained and leaded glass skylight was designed to crown an intricate oval staircase
