The classically modern front entrance double door with transom

Nick & Helen

Classically modern front entrance double door with transom window for a traditional house in King City. The leaded glass door design was inspired by our rosette stained and leaded glass domes with a contemporary twist in design. For the same client, we created a set of leaded glass windows for the bathroom and staircase window to match the front door design

This is our second project with Artistic Line Studio. In this project, we wanted to replace dull builder doors and side windows in our house with a sophisticated and unique design. Artistic Line Studio owner listened to our wishes and then recommended a design which was much better than what we've imagined. She was able to align the design with the outside architecture of the house, internal style and proposed door finish. She explained why some of our ideas wouldn't work and we are very glad that we listed to her. She also made excellent recommendations for the door hardware to match the windows. Artistic Line Studio also had good co-ordination with the supplier who was manufacturing and installing the doors. This door supplier is a large 20+ yrs old company, and their people were very impressed with the windows. They said that they have not seen such a beautiful design before.

Small octagon stained and leaded glass skylight ceiling with accent turquoise crystal jewels and custom hand bevelled glass fills the hallway with natural light. The decorative glass ceiling lay light 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 turquoise glass. For the same client, we developed an oval stained and leaded glass dome above the oval staircase and large square stained and leaded glass skylight for a double-height great room. 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.

Traditional stained and leaded glass circular skylight ceiling custom made for the hallway of a custom-built house in Toronto with a circular staircase. Beautiful plaster mouldings perfectly frame the decorative glass ceiling made of pastel coloured architectural art glass and bevelled glass pieces. The stained and leaded glass ceiling skylight design was inspired by historical rotunda glass dome at Cleveland Trust Company Building

Clear stained and leaded glass ceiling installed under roof skylight illuminates the space in a beautiful way through an array of rich glass effects providing natural light.

"Political consultant Mildred Webber Holmes is admiring the skylight installed above her top-floor landing. “It gives the upstairs the look of a Tiffany lamp. I absolutely love it,” she says. It replaced “a muted, dim skylight that brought in nearly no light—horribly ugly yellowish plexiglass. We couldn’t see the sky.”
Six years after buying their home in the Wesley Heights neighborhood of Upper Northwest D.C., Holmes and her husband, Chris, tasked Anthony Wilder of Anthony Wilder Design/Build in Cabin John, with redesigning the skylight as part of a third-floor renovation. He’d be drawing new plans for a guest room, bath, and sitting area, and while he typically wouldn’t recommend skylights in historic homes, especially in the front of the house, he made a suggestion that the homeowners liked: an octagonal, leaded, pastel-tinged window.

In 2007 we completed a large set of modern design 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. 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  

Classic leaded glass windows custom-designed for the dining room and kitchen of a custom-built residence on Mississauga Road, in the Credit River area. The homeowners sought a home suitable for both family living and entertaining. Rich materials and the finest craftsmanship combine to create an atmosphere of casual elegance.

For the same clients, we designed decorative leaded glass skylight for a staircase hallway. You can explore more images of this beautiful custom-built house in the Credit River area designed by architect Bill Hall
