Opening Soon in Montreal – La Societe in the Loews Hotel Vogue

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013

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.

Texas Dome No.2

Monday, March 25th, 2013

This is a 6.5′dia x 2′ ht. leaded glass dome and features a custom painted frame. The opalescent glass was specially ordered directly from Kokomo, and each jewel was sandblasted and hand painted on the reverse side in order to soften the appearance. A very subtle classic dome.

Install in Ottawa

Even though it is officially spring, it was a snowy trip to Ottawa. Well worth it to see this dome installed.

Overall size 8′dia x 30″ ht.

I will have more photos of the context once the entire project is complete, but I was excited to see this as it is. A chandelier will run through the centre.

A Little Sapphire

I have always thought our domes were jewel like but this one with its sapphire touches is much bigger than any ring I’ve ever seen.

Working on a Pair of Complimentary Domes

Thursday, December 6th, 2012

This is the First Dome of a complimentary pair, Robin is cutting the glass on a light table (see below). The second dome is larger with a different design, although sharing the same glass types.

The pattern is deceptively simple, yet subtle differences in glass textures, and orientation of the grain make this a visually rich dome.

A Series

Tuesday, May 1st, 2012

We worked with Denis from Skylights Unlimited on this project, to come up with a decorative solution to a series of skylights fit between existing roof joists. The design runs through each panel to create an overall affect of a cohesive ceiling, the separations are less distinct.
