New Jersey Beach House — Circular Wave Panel

Project Overview

A circular stained glass window in lead came for a private beach house in New Jersey, featuring a spiraling wave design in blues, turquoise, and white — bringing the motion of the sea indoors.

A circular stained glass window designed and fabricated in lead came for a private beach house on the New Jersey shore. The design centers on a sweeping, spiraling wave — drawn from the vocabulary of Japanese wave art — rendered in a rich palette of blues, turquoise, dark green, and electric blue, with transparent and translucent white segments suggesting sea foam, coastal breeze, or drifting clouds that balance the composition. The wave curves dynamically inward toward a central void, creating a sense of perpetual motion frozen in glass. Each curved segment is individually cut and leaded, the lines of the came becoming part of the visual rhythm of the piece. A commission where craft and setting are inseparable — a window made to hold the light of the ocean.
