In the heart of Tabriz, a stunning triplex residence rises as a true expression of architectural refinement. At the core of this luxurious home lies a central void, intentionally designed to flood the interior with natural light and spatial fluidity. Above this void, a remarkable centerpiece steals the show — a custom-designed stained glass skylight, thoughtfully executed by the skilled artisans of the Taj Team.
From the very first glance, the skylight captures attention. Measuring an impressive 5 by 6 meters, it crowns the vertical expanse of the stairwell, allowing daylight to descend gracefully into the home’s heart. However, this is no ordinary skylight — it is a symphony of craftsmanship, light, and design.
Transitioning from Structure to Art
As you transition from the architectural shell to the artistic core, the skylight reveals its magic: an extraordinary composition of hand-cut, textured, and uniquely beveled glass pieces. Each segment was selected not only for its visual beauty but also for its ability to catch and reflect light at different angles, bringing the entire structure to life throughout the day.
Thin, classic black lead lines frame every glass piece with precision, guiding the eye across the design’s intricate paths. These lines do more than hold the structure together — they define its rhythm, shape its patterns, and reinforce its timeless elegance.
From Geometry to Emotion
The skylight’s composition blends geometric forms with soft spiral motifs, creating a dynamic yet harmonious flow. This balance is no coincidence; it was intentionally developed to reflect the neoclassical soul of the home. The design doesn’t merely decorate the space — it connects past and present, tradition and innovation.
Further elevating its elegance are the curved edges of the frame. These gentle arcs soften the visual weight of the structure, making it feel like a natural extension of the home rather than a standalone element. This smooth transition between the skylight and the surrounding ceiling reinforces a sense of continuity throughout the interior.
Light That Transforms the Space
As sunlight passes through the skylight, it transforms. The bevels refract the light, creating crystal-like sparkles, while the textures diffuse it softly into the living space. The result is a calming, almost spiritual atmosphere, unique to each moment of the day. Morning light brings crisp clarity; afternoon light warms the space; evening light fades with grace — each transition subtly reshaping the mood within the home.
Crafted with Purpose by the Taj Team
Every aspect of this skylight — from material selection to on-site installation — was handled with care and precision by the Taj Team. Their understanding of both aesthetic storytelling and structural integration allowed the stained glass piece to become more than decoration: it became a functional art installation embedded in the very identity of the home.
