For more than forty years, Glassworks has fabricated functional architectural art glass that both dazzles the eye and fulfills a useful function, thanks to collaborations with creative interior designers, architects, and home and business owners. Starting this quarter, Glassworks is initiating a new section of our blog and email newsletter that celebrates the success of our many creative and innovative design partners, beginning with Jeff Lamb of J Lamb Studios and V3 Studio in Portland Oregon.

Glassworks "Sapphire" Glass Feature Wall

Glassworks “Sapphire” Glass Feature Wall

Jeff included our work in his recent interior design of a penthouse in the Escala building, located on 4th and Virginia in downtown Seattle. This elegant new high-rise condominium features 24 hour concierge services, a private theater/conference room, exercise room, and underground parking. The grand foyer, dominated by a swirling metal staircase, leads you past the large concierge desk toward a hallway of elevators. After taking a short ride on the ultra-fast and private elevator to the 30th floor, you are greeted in the entry way by a glass feature wall by Glassworks. Made of alternating strips of our heavily textured kiln-formed “Sapphire” glass, the white-clear material gives the impression of pure ice crystals frozen in time. Just beyond, the entryway powder room features an all-glass vanity by Glassworks with integrated sink, frosted and textured with real fichus leaves and surrounded by wood framed mirrors. As you proceed to the main space your breath is stolen by the rich natural light pouring through endless windows and ceilings more than 10 feet high. This northwest-facing residence features nearly continuous 180 degree views of downtown Seattle (including an intimate view of the Space Needle), the Puget Sound, and the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges.

Jeff took advantage of the changing natural light by filling the open floor plan living spaces with reflective white oak floors and over 110 square feet of our heavily textured clear “Sapphire” glass on the bar. This same glass is also used to cover the master bathroom counter. Beyond the surrounding windows you find a curved and covered terrace wrapping around the master bedroom, living spaces, and guest bedroom. Perfect for year-round entertaining, Jeff Lamb’s work creates an open and inviting space that reflects the views. This penthouse has received praise from Wendy Leung of the Seattle Condo Review blog. Wendy writes that this space was the highlight of her tour at the broker’s Open House in March 2010.

Socially responsible companies like Glassworks know that businesses can only thrive when community social programs and non-profit organizations are supported in their work to improve society as a whole. Our design partners and referral partners often share this desire to connect and share with our extended communities. To facilitate further opportunities to collaborate with industry partners in our social mission, Glassworks has developed a unique referral program.

When Glassworks receives a referral that becomes a job, we donate $50 to the non-profit of the referrer’s choosing. Over the years, our partners have helped us support a variety of local and national organizations including Make-A-Wish Foundation, Seattle Symphony, American Red Cross, and many more. Last quarter, John Adams of Stuart Silk Architect helped us donate to Pratt Fine Arts Center, taking advantage of a triple-match opportunity to fund their Wood Working Program, after sending us a lead on an art glass partition wall at a dentist office. Jennifer Hayden of Pental Granite & Marble asked us to share in her love of animals by donating to ASPCA, after referring a local software company to us for a glass transaction counter. Thank you John and Jennifer for your generous community support and for entrusting Glassworks with your contacts.

If you have a referral opportunity to share with Glassworks, please contact us. If we are able to convert the lead into a job, your generosity will be shared with a community organization of your choice.

Blog[GoodWorks]

Some years ago we established a way to thank clients who refer other clients to us. When a past client refers a new client to us, we make a donation to a non-profit organization on the referring client’s behalf. We have made donations to diverse organizations like the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Seattle Symphony, and St Andrews Housing Group, to name just a few.

Recently Like many other small businesses, we have been negatively impacted by the current economy; however we have been fortunate to keep this program active. We have had wonderful clients who continue to refer more wonderful clients to us. We recently made donations on our clients’ behalf to Kentuckiana Children’s Center, Seattle Asian Art Museum and the American Red Cross. We are happy to continually support non-profit organizations that contribute to the richness and well being of our communities.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Introducing 4 great benefits to using glass in your next project

Safe and Sophisticated
All architectural glass balustrades are fabricated to meet safety codes by either using tempered or laminated glass panels. There are many design, color and texture options available and glass panel designs can be ornate or simple. At Glassworks, we feel the imagination of designers and architects or the glass used to create dynamic and safe environments need never restrict creativity.

Naturally Friendly

Glass does not emit volatile organic compounds, nor does it require VOC emitting cleaning products. One of our glass panel options is made of 100% recycled glass, obtained within 500 miles of our studio and fabricated from start to finish here in our studio. At Glassworks we are active in making our fabrication process energy efficient and are sensitive to our “carbon footprint.”

An investment in taste
Glass allows light to pass through it and doesn’t take up a lot of visual space. By allowing natural light to pass through to interior spaces, glass is a beautiful design element without ever being over stated. Because of its neutrality of color and translucency, glass doesn’t detract from other design elements. More impressive and yes, a little more costly than clear glass, the neutrality of the material is complimentary to many future design element changes, making it a good investment.

A snap to clean
Our glass panels are ultra easy to clean. The problem of fingerprints and visible dust particles that are evident with clear glass are not issues with textured or cast glass due to the nature of the fabrications, which in turn means cleaning less often.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]LEEDing the way
Glassworks is proud to announce that principal, Tish Oye, has been accredited with a LEED AP credential. LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design in Commercial Interiors, is the nationally accepted benchmark for green construction and design.

What’ up next for Tish? Determined to make the company and their fabricating process more sustainable, Tish is deeply committed to sustainable building practices. The company’s beautiful new series of recycled glass countertops create amazing impact but are fully functional as well. Plans are currently in the works to heat their facility with the heat from the kilns they use. Oye’s perspective is that it’s about the little things smaller companies can do to lower their carbon footprint and be a good neighbor at the same time.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Latest News” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”latest-news-new-page”][vc_row_inner el_class=”new-post-carousel”][vc_column_inner][na_posts_carousel height=”277px” excerpt=”0″ comment=”none” catg=”none” dot=”false” autoplay=”false” slide_visible=”2″ txtsize=”24px” txtclr=”#000000″ dateclr=”#686868″ descclr=”#888888″ settings=”size:10|order_by:date|order:ASC|post_type:post|categories:20″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”get-in-touch-block”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Have a Vision for your Unique Space? ” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get In Touch” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23597b7c|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”get-in-touch-link” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fglassworksinc.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Challenge
Our client needed help with the construction of an outdoor bar for an upscale beach resort. His vision included a glass, boat-shaped bar nestled in a sea of glass waves. He wanted the “boat” designed so that bartenders could easily stand and work inside the structure. He also wanted the bar lit from the inside so all sides of the “boat” would be illuminated.

The Solution
Taking into consideration thickness, safety, and design, we created a number of sample pieces. We knew the glass had to be structurally sound yet translucent. From the sample stage, we fabricated a mold with a wave-like texture and created twenty-two individual pieces of green glass, each measuring 28″ x 36″ and 2.4″ thick. The pieces were mitered to fit the boat radius seamlessly and then pieced together inside a 24-foot metal frame that was designed to hold the glass boat and the matching glass countertop.

The Result
The bar was assembled at the Glassworks studio for a test run and then disassembled for shipment. Once installed at its final location, the “boat” created an ideal working space for the resort’s staff as well as a compelling centerpiece for the resort’s guests. The result was so stunning, the client asked us to use the same glass to create matching directional signs to be used throughout the resort area.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Latest News” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”latest-news-new-page”][vc_row_inner el_class=”new-post-carousel”][vc_column_inner][na_posts_carousel height=”277px” excerpt=”0″ comment=”none” catg=”none” dot=”false” autoplay=”false” slide_visible=”2″ txtsize=”24px” txtclr=”#000000″ dateclr=”#686868″ descclr=”#888888″ settings=”size:10|order_by:date|order:ASC|post_type:post|categories:20″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”get-in-touch-block”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Have a Vision for your Unique Space? ” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get In Touch” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23597b7c|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”get-in-touch-link” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fglassworksinc.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Challenge
A client who was designing a private eating club had recently returned from a trip to Africa. While there, he had spent time at one of the more majestic waterfalls on the continent. The club he was building was set on a waterfront and he approached Glassworks to replicate the look and feel of the African waterfall.

The Solution
To create the indoor waterfall, we designed glass panels that covered the lion share of the interior wall space. We etched the panels with a dynamic waterfall image and fabricated large, kiln-formed glass panels to look like colorful native rocks. Mid-way through the process, we mocked up one of the waterfall panels in our studio, and worked with the water structure manufacturer to insure water would flow smoothly over the glass panels.

The Result
The result was a majestic, flowing waterfall that offered eighty lineal feet of etched glass panels and ten lineal feet of colorful, kiln-formed waterfall-like “stones” that mimicked the outdoor, African waterfall experience. Aside from being pleased with the design and function of the installation, Glassworks was able to complete the project well within the needed timeframe, adding further value to the customer experience.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Latest News” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”latest-news-new-page”][vc_row_inner el_class=”new-post-carousel”][vc_column_inner][na_posts_carousel height=”277px” excerpt=”0″ comment=”none” catg=”none” dot=”false” autoplay=”false” slide_visible=”2″ txtsize=”24px” txtclr=”#000000″ dateclr=”#686868″ descclr=”#888888″ settings=”size:10|order_by:date|order:ASC|post_type:post|categories:20″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”get-in-touch-block”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Have a Vision for your Unique Space? ” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get In Touch” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23597b7c|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”get-in-touch-link” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fglassworksinc.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hawaii, HI -Glassworks participation at the 2008 Pacific Building Trade Show in Honolulu, HI on October 9, 2008 was highlighted by the firm’s introduction of recycled glass offerings as well as displays of new fabrications that shine the light on innovative ways to integrate glass into design. Part of Glassworks’ overall mission to explore the dynamic use of glass for residential and commercial new construction and remodeling projects, the featured offerings highlighted the company’s forward-thinking stance in the field of design.

Spotlighting the exhibits were textured glass that resembles ice. Born from a project for the ICE SPA at the SHERATON ANCHORAGE, the process allows designers to implement crisp, innovative glass materials as a unique design element. Also featured are the firm’s latest offerings of slumped and mirrored glass. Ideal for kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, the reflective glass surfaces provide detail and variety that traditional splash back materials cannot achieve. Always exploring the use of color, the booth also featured samples of Glassworks ’ innovative use of multi-colored glass and glass with painted designs. A unique opportunity for customization and design, the multi-colored glass and paint processes can be fabricated to echo any color element in a design pallet and can be matched to interior or exterior tile, paint, fabric, or even upholstery.

The show was also an opportunity for Glassworks to draw attention to its ongoing partnership with Quantum Building Products of Kailua-Kona, HI. Featured at the Quantum Building Products booth were two examples of wooden doors built with Glassworks ’ door panels fabricated in “illustrated” slumped glass. The first door incorporated slumped glass panels with a creative, life-size bamboo pattern. The second door integrated a traditional kimono pattern into the slumped glass process. Part of Glassworks innovative way of using molds and pattern glass, the ‘illustrative’ effect can be realized in any pattern or shape and can be customized to fit any door or window Quantum Building Products makes.

As part of the Glassworks’ trade show tradition, there was a drawing for a large, kiln form decorative glass bowl. This year’s lucky winner was Heather Beerman of Susan Palmer Designs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Latest News” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”latest-news-new-page”][vc_row_inner el_class=”new-post-carousel”][vc_column_inner][na_posts_carousel height=”277px” excerpt=”0″ comment=”none” catg=”none” dot=”false” autoplay=”false” slide_visible=”2″ txtsize=”24px” txtclr=”#000000″ dateclr=”#686868″ descclr=”#888888″ settings=”size:10|order_by:date|order:ASC|post_type:post|categories:20″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row el_class=”get-in-touch-block”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Have a Vision for your Unique Space? ” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_custom_heading text=”Get In Touch” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:55px|text_align:center|color:%23597b7c|line_height:60px” google_fonts=”font_family:Lora%3Aregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” el_class=”get-in-touch-link” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fglassworksinc.com%2Fcontact-us%2F|||”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]When the new TULALIP RESORT CASINO opened its doors in Tulalip, WA, the state-of-the-art gaming facility, convention center, and luxury hotel picked a winning hand when it contacted GLASSWORKS to create works of art for the facility. Designed to reflect the excitement and energy of the resort, GLASSWORKS’ one-of-a-kind works of art add dramatic touches of color, shape, and design to the facility as well as a dynamic sense of artistry, throughout.

Created as a tourist and business destination, the Convention Center at the TULALIP RESORT CASINO is home to 30,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting and reception space. Designed to accommodate large and small groups, the welcoming design of the Convention Center is defined by ten, floor-to-ceiling glass pillars created by GLASSWORKS. Offering a combination of history, elegance, and function, each backlit pillar is embedded with glass icons that represent an essential part of the Tulalip tribe tradition. “Working with input from tribal leaders, we found a way to place icons that have been used by the Tulalip tribe for thousands of years, right into the glass,” explains GLASSWORKS owner, Tish Oye. “The pillars create an awe-inspiring public space that engages the senses and invites the mind to learn more about the heritage of the Tulalip tribe.”[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
