Whether it is a dome, cupola, or other type of skylight, these additions add beauty to any structure while giving it an exclusive look and style. Most often when families consider these additions, they are looking to brighten up a dark room or want a feature piece atop their conservatory – but what about using them as art fixtures?

Would you consider using skylights in these unique places??

GARDEN FOLLY CUSTOM SKYLIGHTS

We all have that favorite place outside where we go to watch the stars and sit amidst the gardens

Imagine… It is late at night and the stars are out; you feel the soft warm breeze brush across your skin. Where are you?! These clients are sitting under their custom copper and glass dome on their garden swing! Placed at the edge of their garden, they took an ordinary swing set and turned it into a custom work of art.

Look at the details…

Made entirely out of steel, copper, and glass, notice the small panes of overlapping glass and detail carved into the copper work of the dome. The beautiful columns surrounding the swing set an atmosphere so peaceful, you cannot help but spend your nights star gazing.

CUSTOM GARDEN SHOWERS

When a client asked us to design a fanciful skylight for a backyard shower, we thought… “He can’t be serious!” We had designed a beautiful conservatory

for him years ago, but this seemed an unlikely project. However, six months later and after hours of design work, a most amazing structure emerged. This copper clad steel skylight with antique lapped glass and ornamental finial creates a soaring light to drench this elegant space with warmth. Only a simple arched wooden door hinted at the dramatic space behind.

SOLARIUMS | STAR CABIN

Do you have a love for stargazing?

Looking for a quiet space away from civilization, the last piece to this client’s dream home is an observatory.  In the midst of building a new home in the countryside, they turned to Tanglewood in search of creating a SILO off of their beautiful log cabin home to share their love of astronomy. Just imagine… relaxing at the top of this secret hideout and, through this enormous glass dome, watching the Aurora Borealis! Flashes of various colors engulf the night sky, dancing around the stars, creating a magnificent show for you and your family.
