Installation Day!

The installation process for the project I have been working on was quite intensive and went pretty smooth with a few minor issues that we solved quickly.  There was  general contractor Slavik of Grada Inc. to help in addition to the Roger from Adventure Metal who created the metal frames.  I enjoyed working with them in the process of this project.
Here are some pictures of the installation.
One detail to look for is the difference in the glass color when the clouds are behind the panels vs when there is blue sky and direct sun.  It is very different.  We had a lot of fun observing the way the glass changes as the day progressed and what was in the background changed.
The large window in the top center is 8 ft tall by 6 ft wide to give you an idea of the scale.  
The design was created by OSMOSE an interior design firm in Portland, OR, and I created some modifications suitable for glasswork and did the fabrication.

Framing Large Glass Panels

In the current project that I have been sharing pictures the next step is putting the glass panels into the metal frames that have been recently painted.  It has been a little complicated than I thought it would be and took almost twice as long to complete. The results are beautiful.  I love the framework.  The paint color is to match the existing window frame color.





Installation is right around the corner!
