SUNTRACKER WINDOWS

The Suntracker Series are windows that project an image and color into the space. Optically clear colored glass and prismatic objects combine to create patterns that change through the course of the day or season.
SUNTRACKER SKYLIGHT WINDOWSUNTRACKER SKYLIGHT WINDOW
As with all the windows in the Suntracker Series, the projected image is as important as the pleasing design of the window. The use of prismatic objects and glass as well as dichroic and lightly textured glass allows the image to project onto the wall instead of dispersing the light. The window is set in a hinged steel frame for easy removal and cleaning. A two-inch perimeter space allows for air circulation when the motorized skylight is opened.

ANTIQUE PRISMATIC SUNTRACKER WINDOWANTIQUE PRISMATIC SUNTRACKER WINDOW
This window is installed in an interior opening in a house in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The squares are antique prismatic tiles which were commonly installed in work spaces and above storefronts to bring light into the space. The tiles have changed color to a pale purple, the result of a reaction of the manganese in the glass to ultraviolet light.

This is the first commission window in the SUNTRACKER series. My idea was to not just think about what the window looked like but also what type of image it would project into the living space.

FIRST SUNTRACKER WINDOWFIRST SUNTRACKER WINDOW
The projected image of the first SUNTRACKER window. I wanted the image to represent the red sun with a clock pendulum hanging from the sun and moving slowly across the floor over the course of the day. I also like the way the projected color of the dichroic glass is different than the color when looking at the window. The center blue stripe projects a rich magenta color which changes also depending on the angle of the sun in different seasons. The projected image of the first SUNTRACKER window.
