Escape Glass
THE REMARKABLES
Company: Escape Glass
Client: Anderson
Location: Queenstown, New Zealand
Date: March 2021
Size: 2020 x 1800mm
Objective:
Escape Glass slumped glass panels were used to create a handmade sliding door with a custom-drawn image of the Remarkables' clients' view, slumped in via refractory, for a new home in picturesque Queenstown. This was a stunning commissioned feature for a new build and was completed on the 31st March 2021.
Special Challenges We Faced
Drawing the image to the customers desired design from a supplied photograph of the view of The Remarkables from the new property.
Designing the refractory pieces to be cut cleanly and clearly. These shapes were then applied to our large glass panel before kiln firing. This was done in multiple pieces and placed on the glass like a large jigsaw puzzle.
A pounce was created and a colour coding system made to ensure they were all laid out in the right place.
Refractory application on handmade slumped glass sliding door
The glass door was sent from Invercargill to Nelson to be toughened then back to Invercargill for transport to the job site in Queenstown. There is always a risk of glass breaking during this process.
The slumped glass panel was 2200 x 1820mm, which made it challenging for our staff to get this into the kiln and then install it on-site.
Products We Used
10mm Clear Float Glass – supplied by Viridian
Hardware - sliding mechanism and handle
Refractory shapes cut from Creativity Plus, Invercargill
Summary
This is an incredible design that showcases what is achievable with unique glass processing and skilled glaziers. This sliding slumped glass door illustrates the best use of handmade slumped glass, as it is the only product that can create a timeless image, whilst providing light and functionality.

Saree Parry Design - Decorating Den Interiors
Our services were engaged to refurbish the guest bathroom, which over time had become the wife's main bathroom. The design was driven by our Client's desire for maximized storage space within the confines of this small room.
Lighting was selected for both general and task functions, as well as to create ambiance. The custom vanity with quartz counter-top, accomplished the task of maximizing storage. The new walk-in shower features a wall-mounted, rain showerhead, a hand-held shower wand, sliding doors, and a sleek safety bar. The colour pallet is subtle, mostly consisting of white with coloured and textured accents to help open up the space. Even though the new bathroom was designed with one person in mind, it can easily accommodate shared use between four people when there are guest.
