Project Spotlight: Auchentoroly Terrace

SGO Baltimore — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 17:21:33 +0000

SGO was delighted to work with the residents in the 3100 block of Auchentoroly Terrace to create six new stained glass transoms for the entire row of houses. Located in a historic neighborhood directly across the street from Druid Hill Park, the Rawlings Conservatory and the Maryland Zoo, the houses on Auchentoroly Terrace were a prime location for beautiful 19th century styled stained glass.

Cathy Allen, herself a resident on the block, coordinated with the other home owners and the Greater Mondawmin Coordination Council to receive a grant from the Healthy Neighborhoods program. Designed to revitalize neighborhoods and assist home owners in forging a vibrant community, the Healthy Neighborhoods program came through, helping to fund the project.

Discussing the concept with Cathy, the goal was clear – a single design that would give a unified, community atmosphere to the street. At the same time, the pattern should be historically appropriate, warm, friendly, and unique.

The results speak for themselves, but that didn’t stop each of the homeowners from remarking what a difference even that modest change made to the facades. Next time you visit the Conservatory, take a moment to walk across the street and see for yourself.

Timonium Studio Relocating After June 30th

SGO Baltimore — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 18:16:20 +0000

After nine years, we are relocating our Timonium studio on June 30th. Our lease is up and we plan to open a smaller dedicated showroom in the area within the next year. Until the details are worked out, we will be bringing our showroom to our clients, and referring them to our website.

We will, of course continue creating original custom designs and handcrafting our signature stained glass in new separate fabrication facilities.

Fells Point Fun Festival: Oct 2 & 3 – We’ll Be There!

SGO Baltimore — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 16:35:11 +0000

Summer may have come to an end, but that just means it’s time again for the Fells Point Fun Festival. This is the last neighborhood festival we do every year, and it’s by far the biggest. Lasting the whole weekend, there’s always lots to see and do. Stop by our tent if you come out on Saturday or Sunday! We’re normally on Thames Street, in front of the Recreation Pier water taxi stop, but that’s subject to change. No matter where we are, though, we’ll be there all weekend. Take a break and join in the fun!

SGO at the Symphony Decorators’ Showhouse

SGO Baltimore — Wed, 05 May 2010 18:35:14 +0000

Every year, the Baltimore Symphony Associates chooses a number of designers to transform rooms in a Decorators’ Showhouse – a fundraiser for the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Last year, you might have seen some of our decorative Iron Art inside the showhouse. This year, at the 34th Symphony Decorators’ Showhouse, SGO is proud to have a piece of our Stained Glass Overlay included in the redesign.

The first bedroom on the second floor, titled “Indulge Your Dreams,” was designed by Carol Weil, owner of CLWdesigns. She came to us with her ideas, fabric swatches and colors to create a piece that would stand out, yet fit naturally into her vision for the room. You can see her room, our glass, and all the other designers’ work at the showhouse throughout May. Take a look for yourself, and help support a Baltimore cultural institution (see the showhouse website for hours and admission information).

The showhouse runs May 8-30, 2010.
