Weeping Cherry Entry

This set of windows were made for a home in upstate New York. From the dozens of sketches I made at the beginning of the project, I proposed a design that had the solidity of an established old-growth Cherry balanced with the lightness of flowering branches lightly draping across the multiple windows of the installation.

Climbing Rose Entry and Windows

Over the past several years, we’ve been working with Shawn Kammerer of the Craftsman Door Company to create one-of-a-kind entries for homes all over the Bay Area. It’s not easy to find the set of skills Shawn brings to every project: an understanding of aesthetics, an extremely well crafted product and solid business practices. I’m […]

Round Wisteria Window

We made this bathroom window for a client who desired privacy and the color of lavender wisteria that adorns the front of his home. We also designed wisteria windows for the entry and will post those images at the end of the project.

Maher, one of my favorite architects, used leaded glass and mosaic in many of his commissions throughout his career. I used the mosaic from the Schultz House in Kenilworth, […]

New Lighting Design

We worked closely with woodworker Bernie Jungle to create this custom dining room light.

Window for the Hotsy Totsy Club

For hundreds of years, craftsman have been using glass to celebrate getting drunk and the tradition continues to the present day – mostly in the form of faux-glass beer signs and pool table lamps. Working together with the proprietors of the Hotsy Totsy Club, I created a front door window intended to look original to […]

The Garden Museum Collection

Last November we had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view a broad array of top tier work from Tiffany Studios and others just a few miles from the workshop. Takeo Horiuchi, a collector from Japan had assembled this collection over two decades and built a museum to house it. Concerned about the danger posed to the […]
