The client found beauty in the movements of life responding to music. She came of age as a ballet dancer.


Introduction of glass billets is imagined as a musical illumination, fixed on the wall as implied notes within an invisible stave.


Afternoon sunlight release the colors of glass billets embedded in the west wall of the entry porch. These colors move about the interior, reflecting off surfaces and dancing on the floor until the day comes to an end.


Today, this ballet dancer recruits and auditions students for the Texas Christian University School for Classical and Contemporary Dance.
