This home, inspired by a Country French Villa, was the result of many
creative minds. Dave Wathen was the general contractor. Candace Frioux was the designer who
worked closely with the owner, who is also a gifted designer. Candace
comes up with designs that are
very formal, classic French, and yet extremely comfortable. We didn't work as
closely with her this time, because the owner had specific ideas for design
and the home was pretty close to complete when we began glass design.

This view gives you a feel for the elegance of the
bathroom, but doesn't show the scale of the room. Because it is so large,
there is a real need for a feeling of privacy and warmth, which the glass
in the window provides. |

Here is a close picture of the stained glass. The
textures of clear glass allow a lot of natural light into the room, while
maintaining complete privacy by obscuring the view. |

This massive entertainment center fits perfectly in
the great room where it is placed. |
|
|
Stained glass panels complete the "French"
look of the entertainment center, provide some privacy in the cabinets and
add an elegant and finished touch to the look of the doors. |
|
|
Stained glass transoms top off the "Old
World" look of this compact sitting room just off the master suite. |
|
|
A view through the door shows the porch and woods
beyond the glass. |
|
|
The window, with striations in the glass and a touch
of French Victorian design look at home in this secluded setting. |
|
|
And finally, here are all four of the transom
windows. Each panel had over 400 pieces of glass in them and represent
hours of painstaking craftsmanship. |
