Our pieces engage with people, welcoming them into spaces that will capture their imagination and will continually provide a source of fascination for years to come.

4 WIMBERLEY GLASSWORKS How It s Done Wimberley Glassworks Graphic Render We believe in being present throughout the entire project, for a truly unique and integrated installation. We will take into account the feeling of the space, the scale, and the emotion we are endeavoring to evoke from the surrounding architectural elements. These ideas are then developed into renders and models to understand how the piece will function in the intended space, and physical mockups will ensure the project engineering standards as well as meeting our artistic intention. Technical drawings and instructions are created for all teams involved in the execution. The glass is created to defined, specific standards, while at the same time maintaining the character of hand-blown glass. Finally, the project will be delivered on time and installed with the utmost respect for safety, the art and the space.

5 ABUNDANCE Granite Park Five The goal of our art installations is to stimulate the space and the viewer s reaction to the space with a combination of color, light and the sparkle that only glass can provide. The client s concept for the Granite 5 lobby project was to create a feeling of prosperity while keeping it light, translucent and visually activated. The collaborative result was our installation, titled Abundance, created out of over 1200 ribbons of glass in 3 different glass patterns that, when lit from above, gives the illusion of waves of abundant schools of fish darting across the ceiling. This visual representation of abundance and energy is ideal for the lobby of an office building. Before a client even enters the elevator, the mood of the building has been set.

Briarpark design was created using blown glass lighting

6 RIVER OF GLASS Granite Briarpark Inspired by the beautiful Blanco River for its idyllic scenery, the Briarpark design was created using blown glass lighting in conjunction with an iridescent textural finish on the ceiling.

7 SEA & SKY Granite Brand Two pendant ensembles create focal points in both the east and west lobbies in the North Brand building. Color and form were inspired by certain colors of the southern California sea and sky. These pendants are spring-loaded and contain other earthquake resistant features.

8 SOFT MOTION Granite Park 17 Our Park 17 project provided our studio an opportunity to create a conceptual design that represents light in motion. The undulating glass forms provide a sense of movement as they are viewed from different perspectives.

10 PASSIONIS Dallas Residence The goal was to light the space according to the owners passions, accenting the amethyst of wild Irises and the cobalt of deep ocean waters. Our design created a space that brought the vastness of the ocean down to the human scale. I have seen glass all over the world. In your shop it s not about the ego, it s about the artwork.

12 Sunrise at Matagorda Bay Petrobras America 1.5 tons of cast glass appear to float off the travertine stone wall. The sculpture speaks as much to the negative space as it does to the glass itself. The cylinder light composition represents the cool waters of the sea and the warmth of the morning sunrise. The exterior point of view was also a contributing factor in the overall design.
