Stairwells

I do a lot of work in century homes with windows on their stairwell landings. The period stained glass often needs attention after years of weather and gravity. In some cases, tho, the original glass has regrettably been removed. Bruce to the rescue!

Here, the original windows had been replaced with poorly built ones that began to fail after a few years. The home had other leaded glass, so I looked to it for inspiration. The result is a simple, clean, classic design (with a little textural sparkle) that is properly reinforced and feels like it has always been there.  ​

In this next case, a previous owner liked the stained glass window and took it with them when they moved, leaving clear, patterned bathroom glass in its place. I worked with the clients to establish a color palette and find design motifs within the home’s architecture to mimic in the new design. The result is a window that feels like it could have been installed 100 years ago.
