Octagonal stained and leaded glass dome

"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  

Contemporary and modern stained glass windows design for the custom-built residence in Vancouver. Stained glass windows were installed in a kitchen/dining room area to brighten the space, add character and  privacy to the windows. The glass used in composition brings contrast in texture and color: cold sculptured Duncan glue-chip and Lambert’s hot mouth-blown glass Remi, cold polished beveled glass, and fused glass accent globes. 

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
