Oxshott Window

The brief for this window was to provide interest at all times of day, from 2 sides and the customer’s preference was to make the window up in squares like a patchwork. No mean feat!

I chose the palette following a site visit where I had seen a sample board of tiles. Steel blues, soft purples and green / turquoise glasses. Some with opalescent swirls which work fantastically both day and night with transmitted and face light. The fused glass hearts were requested by the customer after having seen my other work which includes these. They are leaded. Some facing the living room and some the breakfast room.

To make the grid of lead more interesting I varied the widths from a strong 16mm to a much smaller 6mm.

The window is a great success and gives something new with each time of day.
