Sunhawk Window

***Latest News..."Hey, I made that!"
The Sunhawk House and it's Stained Glass door has been shown on TV!
This house was featured on Discovery Channel's "Planet Green" series "World's Greenest Homes".

I hope you get that channel because this truly is an amazing home.
History: This window was also featured in Natural Home Magazine (Nov/Dec 2004), the "Sun Hawk House" is a solar powered wonder built by John Schaeffer and his wife Nancy Hensley, founders of Real Goods Solar Living Institute in Hopland, CA. where I constructed the window in the Sun Hawk's front door.
