ledge between the living room and kitchen.
PRIVATE RESIDENCE
An arched window 68 inches wide and 34 inches tall built in three sections held together by two vertical reinforcing metal channels. The window is mounted above the main window in the living room.
Kitchen Remodel
During a kitchen remodel, a passageway between a side hallway and the kitchen was eliminated. To keep natural light in the hallway, a window was left in the new wall. There is a stairway landing in the hallway so the design, including the large bevel in the center, allows people to look through from the hallway into the kitchen and outdoors via the kitchen windows.
Dining Area / Living Room Divider
The owner of this house had a room divider between her kitchen and living room that consisted of 4 sliding sections containing 1950's era pressed plastic inserts. She wanted something that would let more light through and be more visible. We came up with a plan of a simple frame design surrounding lightly textured center panes. The frame design maintains its framing whether the sections are fully extended or collapsed over one another.
Stairway / Home Office
During the remodel of their craftsman style house, the owners wanted to replace an old gold colored window at the top of their stairs to the second floor. The new window, designed by the owners, lets more light into the stairwell while still maintaining the privacy of their new office built just outside their master bedroom.
The "Glass House" Window Addition
Our client presented us with a perfect opportunity to show how a custom stained glass window could enhance the remodeling of his Craftsman style house. The previous owners had removed a window at the bottom of an open staircase and inserted a plywood filler with an air conditioner unit in it. Because the new owner installed central A/C, the window could be replaced. But the new owner wanted a unique window to go with the house.After taking a picture of the house, the symmetry of it struck me.Why not build an image of the house into the window?!
Before
After
The old window-mounted A/C unit was just plain ugly as seen from outside.
The new window was much easier on the eyes as seen from outside.
Five different textures of clear glass were used.
The A/C unit was just as ugly indoors plus it darkened the stairway landing and half the living room.
From the inside, the stairway landing and the living room now have much more natural light. The glass textures give the new owner complete privacy so blinds and curtains are not needed.
