Sunchime Sandcastle Retreat Clearwater, Florida Multiple Elements @ 2.0' diameter (0.61 m) each within a 12.0' (3.7 m) diameter skylight Materials: Dichroic Glass, Tempered Glass, Beveled Glass, Polished Stainless Steel, Nickel Plated Steel and Stainless Steel Cable The twelve foot diameter skylight located in the main entry lobby of Sandcastle retreat becomes somewhat diminished by the scale of the lobby below. By carefully orchestrating sixteen circular elements and beveled strips, the effects of the sun are felt throughout the lobby and adjoining spaces through constantly changing reflections, refractions and projections.

The polished stainless steel discs suspended along the northern perimeter of the skylight intercept even more of the incoming sunlight and send it sparking through the massing of beveled strips into the dichroic and tempered glass elements that line the southern perimeter of the skylight.
