Previous Projects

A few of our past projects.

Reflect and Dissolve Architecture

“Sarah’s windows reflect and dissolve architecture, creating all manner of different understandings. When you enter the space and form an impression of the windows, it is not an impression of storytelling. It is ambiance and mood and a certain amount of mystery and other-worldliness.”

Phillip Markwood, Architect

Columbus, Ohio

Lux Nova

“The True North/ Lux Nova solar wind tower is a strong culmination of Sarah Hall’s experimental melding of modern technologies and her ancient craft. But it is also an important moment in her ongoing campaign to renew the art of architectural glass in our time.”

John Bentley Mays,

Architecture Critic & Author “Innovating Tradition”

Solar Windows

“Sarah Hall’s solar windows illuminate, but they also create energy and light. Incorporating photovoltaic cells, her installations bestow a double gift: beauty and helpfulness. What more could we wish for?”

Ursula M. Franklin

CC, FRSC, Professor Emeritus, Massey College, University of Toronto

Embrace the Whole History

“One of the joys of Sarah’s art is that each commission seems to embrace the whole history of the medium from its Medieval antecedents through playful quotations of post Renaissance glass to the revival in the Victorian era. It proclaims integrity and continuity!”
