Barona Casino
The wedding chapel is located separate from the casino overlooking a pond. The central window of the chapel overlooks this pond and is the backdrop for the altar. The exterior of the window is given more prominence with the addition of the sculptural relief of circular forms in front of the window perimeter. This sculptural element was designed in tandem with the glass art creating a unified composition. This element not only served as a transitional element for the window but it also added a subtle detail to the glass design with the shadows that it casts onto the etched surfaces of the window, further expressing the overall motif. The glass composition is expressed with laminated beveled glass circles overlapping on both surfaces. On the interior surface of the glass panels are blown glass organic forms that provide a sense of horizontal movement. The window is illuminated not only from the sun but also from the reflecting light off the water beyond.
