Residential stained and leaded glass dome ceiling for a custom-built luxury house developed for a Connecticut-based client. The decorative stained and leaded glass ceiling is a crown jewel of the majestic double-height great room with a two-story library beautifully framed with walnut crown moulding. The decorative glass skylight ceiling has a complex structure with burrel curved borders and a domed centre. Custom hand bevelled accents made of delicately tinted glass with a gentle shift in colours to create a rich texture in the glass fabric.

Elegant custom large stained and leaded glass dome roof skylight was designed for a room with a spiritual purpose in mind – meditation and praying.  The stained glass dome is installed under large roof glass skylight equal to the size of decorative stained and leaded glass dome. The sky and sun above the decorative glass dome creates amazing light shows during a day throwing incredible rainbows and light shows in the room. The floral motives of the fabriques and custom made carpet are in balance with acanthus motives of the stained glass dome.

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.

In 2007 we completed a large set of modern art abstract stained and leaded glass windows for a client in St. Catherine. Full-size leaded glass sidelights for a front door, a bathroom oval window and 2 stained glass windows for bedrooms – all panels were developed in one modern geometric style with random artistic lines. Many panels were developed for odd shaped windows. The challenging task of this design was to overlay abstract irregular artistic lines over the regular pattern of existing grills of insulated units. The design was developed using clear textured architectural glasses with bevelled glass and crystal stained glass jewels as textured assents. Asymmetrical abstract thick lead lines are incorporated into a regular pattern of the windows grills
