THE ROMANS FIRST CRAFTED DOMES and over time gradually made them more opulent. The most famous, covering Hadrian’s Pantheon, was created in the second century. Today, domes also grace much smaller buildings such as single-family homes, garden gazebos, and even silos! Tanglewood can create circular or polygonal sources of light and beauty for homes, garden follies, swimming pool enclosures, or whatever your dreams may be.

THE WORD CUPOLA is derived from the Latin and Greek words meaning small or upside down cup. Cupolas and roof lanterns are usually small, dome-like creations that sit on top of roofs or domes. They are ornamental, but like their larger dome counterparts, can be useful by providing ventilation and light to spaces below.Tanglewood Conservatories creates custom cupolas and roof lanterns made of glass or copper in any shape or size.

DURING THE VICTORIAN ERA almost every row house in urban areas had a simple metal-framed skylight. Citizens with financial means used more elaborate designs. Today, Tanglewood uses fine hardwoods, steel, copper, bronze, and glass in its designs. We manufacture and install beautiful custom skylights that add drama to the architecture and are rich appointments to any home’s roofline.
