Once upon a time, a client came to us asking to design a large stained and leaded glass domed ceiling so beautiful that everybody would lose their consciousness after seeing it.  I designed a ceiling with hundreds of custom hand bevelled glass and crystal jewels of various sizes. The dome is very rich in various glass effects and creates a very unique experience for people under the dome.

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. Thousands of bevelled glass pieces and crystal jewels refract light creating magnificent effects in the space. This stained and leaded glass dome ceiling is one of the largest and one of the most impressive projects created in our studio

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.
