As the warm days of summer ramp up, our minds naturally drift toward visions of respite, shade and water.

Every year, I think summer will never get here. Although we in Seattle complain about our gloomy June that gives way to the blue skies of July, we can use glass panels to let in a lot of natural light and to reflect the light within our space year round. Maybe that’s one of the […]
