In Antwerp, the Chapel of Augustinian Convent was transformed into the bar of Hotel August. Above the bar, two stained-glass windows were restored by Mieke Verwaetermeulen – a circular window and a skylight. They offer a subtle addition to the contemporary lighting of the bar.

This is a mobile sculpture of steel and glass in a private residence. It was installed in a white light shaft. The colours reflect on the blank walls when sunlight enters. The sculpture seeks the contrast between the black woven steel and the transparent glass.

This showcases an antique opalescent glass composition in an office space. The mouth-blown glass in the lower part of the composition hides the view of an ugly banister. The top is kept clear, to show the beautiful view of rooftops and church towers. A horizontal band disrupts the geometric grid in a graphic and playful way.

This stained glass in the western rose window of the Basilica of Dadizele was made by Mieke Verwaetermeulen. It is a contemporary composition in a basilica full of neo-Gothic stained-glass windows. The colours, and their distribution in the composition, are similar to those of the original stained-glass windows.

Here is the stained glass window artwork in an apse of the chapel at Arenberg Castle, now part of the University of Leuven. The blue refers to the colour of the university’s emblem. In the central window a scroll of text is painted in calligraphy. It gives an overview of important figures and events in the university’s history.
