Our second collaboration with Munge Leung and Ink Entertainment has brought about this Art Nouveau Inspired Stained Glass 38′ x12′ Racetrack Oval Dome. It will be the main feature in the Loews Hotel Vogue; La Societe Restaurant in down town Montreal.

Special thanks to Rob Petrie for creating the stunning design drawings and our crew here Kathryn for excellent color and glass selections, Robin and Andrea for the many hours put in cutting and leading the panels, Al for his dexterous work installing and building the framework, and of course Bill, because he did everything!

I wonder if we will have our next Christmas staff party under this dome, like we did for the one in Toronto? The Munge Leung web site has wonderful photos of that project here.

Who has the messier desk? Can you guess which is Bill’s and which is mine? I don’t know but someone is living up to the messy creative stereo type… It also looks like my vase is missing flowers.

Happy New Year 2013

Thursday, January 3rd, 2013

Reflecting back on 2012, it was a good year for the Solarium Design Group. We built our largest residential dome at 22′dia and 6′ht, it was roomy enough for the entire staff to enjoy lunch inside. We purchased our building, and celebrated by building a deck out front with the help of Mike our summer intern an Architecture student from Syracuse University. Continued to expand our reach into the International market, with a custom dome built and shipped to the UAE. You should also be able to see us on TV this year, we have done some window restoration work for Damon Bennetts’ pilot Damon Bennett Restoration Co. to air on HGTV Canada.

Looking ahead to 2013, we are busily working on another impressive commercial project in Montreal, a raised racetrack oval 38′ in length. As well as putting the finishing touches on a pair of domes headed for Texas at the end of the month.

2013 will be memorable.

From full scale design drawings with glass options, to the completed dome. (It’s a little out of the range of my camera lens at 18′ long) Looking forward to showing some installed photos coming later this summer!
