A Legacy Written in Light
Founded over a century ago, Willet Studios has defined the art of architectural glass across generations. While our heritage was forged in monumental historic commissions, our residential studio brings that same unmatched level of artistry and craftsmanship directly into luxury private homes.
We bridge classic glass techniques with contemporary architectural vision—creating heirloom-quality focal points designed to endure for generations.

FAQs
Exclusivity & Studio Capacity
Because every commission requires bespoke artistry, custom material sourcing, and tailored structural, custom material selection, and rigorous structural, we strictly limit our capacity to a select number of private residential commissions each year. This ensures every project receives direct oversight from our senior design partners and master artisans.
Because custom art glass creation is an intimate, highly collaborative process spanning design, engineering, and installation, we are intentionally selective about the projects we accept. We evaluate commissions based on architectural vision, structural scope, and alignment with our studio’s standards of craftsmanship to ensure a seamless, high-value outcome for both the client and the design team.
Client
Every commission is custom-engineered for your specific residence. Private residential projects typically range from $25,000 to over $1,000,000+, depending on physical scale, glass techniques and materials, framing, and structural installation requirements.
Art glass offers an ideal balance of privacy and light transmission. We work with varying levels of opacity, cast textures, and diffusion techniques so you can enjoy vibrant daylight without compromising privacy in entryways, bathrooms, or living suites. For exterior windows, our panels are integrated into double- or triple-pane energy-efficient thermal glass units that protect against heat transfer and block harmful UV rays.
Our residential art glass installations are designed to be heirloom-quality and low-maintenance. Exterior-facing installations are sealed behind protective insulated glass units, meaning they can be cleaned just like standard architectural glass using a standard microfiber cloth and non-abrasive glass cleaner.
We provide full white-glove, turnkey delivery and installation. Our specialized installation team works directly with your builder, general contractor, or home manager to safely deliver, lift, frame, and secure your art glass piece in place.
Interior Designer
We view interior designers as co-creators. Our studio provides physical glass samples, mouth-blown and textured hand-cast glass swatches under varied artificial and natural lighting conditions. We work directly within your project’s color palette, material story, and light transmission goals to ensure the piece seamlessly complements adjacent stone, wood, and millwork finishes.
Yes. For interior feature walls, wine cellars, stairwells, or windowless spaces, we engineer custom backlit low-voltage LED panels. We design diffusers that deliver perfectly uniform, dimmable, and tunable white light (from warm 2700K to full daylight), allowing the client to control the ambiance and highlight the depth of the glass art at any hour.
Yes. Whether you have a preliminary pencil sketch, a fully developed digital rendering, or a custom pattern created by an independent artist, our production studio can scale and manufacture it to exact architectural dimensions. As one of the largest art glass facilities in the nation, we have the machinery and artisan workforce to build complex designs at any scale.
Architect & Structure
Our team can provide complete shop drawings and mounting specifications tailored to your structural plans. We custom-fabricate perimeter steel or aluminum sub-frames, integrate specialized structural ties, and engineer assemblies to meet or exceed regional wind-load, seismic, and architectural building codes.
Yes. For exterior envelope applications, our art glass are sealed behind dual- or triple-pane insulated glass units (IGUs). This preserves energy efficiency, meets thermal standards, provides UV protection, and delivers high Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings without compromising the artistic integrity of the glass.
We recommend engaging our team during the schematic design or design development phase. Early involvement allows us to coordinate directly with your structural engineers and curtainwall consultants on rough opening dimensions, electrical chase locations for backlit features, structural point loads, and framing pockets before final construction documents are issued.
