"Oculus"    


Oculus: Eye, denotes a circular opening in the centre of a dome
 or in a wall. 

The most famous Oculus is in the dome of the Pantheon, Rome. 
It acts as an eye, allowing you to see, and lets the light in. 

 

When you want natural light or to see out, no problem, 

the Oculus is the solution!


 

Enjoy!

 
When you have a wall that needs a window, but you can't do a window (for one of many reasons), an option is a Trompe-l'œil window: a faux Oculus in this case.

Entrance night
We created a street entrance at Casa de Gobierno, a Hacienda style Villa on the Beach for a Country star. In this case we incorporated a true Oculus to accentuate the entrance.
On the Beach, Cancun, Mexico.

Black Bar
There was a window inside a closet, so when we converted the closet into a wet bar we did a porthole in the cabinetry, creating an Oculus in the wine storage section.
Buena Vista Park, Penthouse. San Francisco, California.

Hall. Infinity
At the Hall of Mirrors Bath, we really didn't need any light. However, after doing the wall to wall mirrors we added an Oculus mirror frame. Whether you go through the Oculus or the main mirror, infinity is not that far away.
The Hellman Residence, Pacific Heights, San Francisco, California.


The Polanco pied-à-terre could have used an Oculus in the ceiling, however there is another apartment above, so we did a cupola. The bottom round opening is Oculus-like. The Pendant light too is round and a central open core, or eye (Oculus).

Below, the vase we commissioned for the table is not an Oculus, but it does look like an eye to me.
