Elevating Homes with Glass & Mirrors
For over forty years, Mirror & Glass Concepts has been elevating homes in Central Indiana as prime suppliers of contemporary glass and mirrors. “We are built on the principle of turning the visions of homeowners into reality,” say Debi and John Grecco, co-owners and operators. “Our innovative designs have been transformative, meeting the ambitious challenges of our high-end custom home builders, as well as those of homeowners and remodelers.”
Locally owned and operated in Carmel, Indiana, Mirror & Glass Concepts prides itself on their responsiveness and their hands-on approach to the process of designing, fabricating and installing glass and mirrors. They continue to push the envelope on new and exciting ways to use these materials. Whether the goal is to create a more functional layout or add high-end finishes, they ensure that every detail reflects the same level of care and skill typically reserved for luxury homes.
Mirror & Glass Concepts’ work played a significant role this year in the annual Centier Home-A-Rama (HAR) custom home showcase. Two of the five builders featured in the lineup of luxury residential homes worked with Mirror & Glass Concepts for their designs.
Wine rooms are always a conversation-starter, and the team at Mirror & Glass Concepts partnered with designer Sarah Wilson in the Kent Shaffer Homes and Randy Shaffer Custom Homes build to create an additional layer of personality. Exquisite glass doors place the stunning wine room on full display for homeowners and their guests. An interior glass panel in the room allows the homeowner to memorialize their time with family, friends and each bottle of wine shared, creating a unique and dynamic display.
Mirrors are also starring attractions in the Kent Shaffer Homes and Randy Shaffer Custom Homes build, particularly in its bathrooms. The use of antique mirror evokes a heritage inspired feeling to balance the sleek, contemporary angles and curves of the rest of the house. The custom antique mirror over and under the vanity in the powder bath is a statement piece and outstanding example of Mirror & Glass Concept’s creativity and craftsmanship.
In the workout room, their workmanship transforms a simple space into something dynamic and multifunctional. Erecting pivoting mirrors opposite floor-to-ceiling panels affords the homeowner the flexibility to transform the space to suit their workout routine.
One of the best reflective accents of the show is displayed in G&G Custom Home’s build. The spacious chef’s dream kitchen is punctuated by a multi-layer antique mirrored surface that wraps the range hood, creating a subtle reflection of the room’s overhead lighting and broad panoramic glass doors.
Mirror & Glass Concepts furthered designer Hilari Goris’ Modern Vineyard vision for the G&G property with a full glass entry system in the upstairs loft office space. This glass feature creates a sense of openness and transparency to compliment the home’s charisma. This same technique is used in the workout room / sauna corridor.
In both the G&G and Kent Shaffer Homes and Randy Shaffer Custom Homes, shower enclosures that would capture the imagination of any homeowner are also featured. In the G&G home, Mirror & Glass Concepts skillfully executed a wet room, in which both the shower and bathtub occupy the same space, encased by glass with black finish highlights.
The glass doors and back wall of the Kent Shaffer Homes and Randy Shaffer Custom Homes shower enclosure draws attention to a bathroom layout in which the shower is the centerpiece—once again lending itself to the designer’s take on an open-concept.
Even the most discerning homeowners who want to elevate their space will appreciate the exquisite craftsmanship that Mirror & Glass Concepts brings to each project. The innovative use of materials with seasoned methodology creates cinematic perspectives for any homeowner in any sized home.
