Project Information
Architect Uriel Schlair of HWA tapped into Builders expertise to create a beautiful and unique treatment. A completely custom window system with framing contoured to match the original wood utilizing over 440 large aluminum castings in the "square wagon wheel shape". Behind the glass is a dark aluminum shadow box allowing the viewer to feel that he is looking into the building rather than viewing a blank panel or back painted glass.
