As I was designing this window, I gave considerable thought to how I would tie the two main design elements together, the iron garden gate in the lower section and the grapevines with morning glories in the transom.
After considerable sketching, I came up with the idea of the sculptural form in the middle, adding yet another design element. Then, it occurred to me to design the top of the sculpture as if it was a young bird in its nest, being fed by one of its parents.
Including the stylized “baby bird” ties everything together while giving the window a mystery element, a conversation piece, or in design terms, the Wow factor.
