Jacksonville & the First Coast

Decorative glass for the First Coast.

Architectural decorative glass made for riverfront estates, oceanfront residences, and the designers, architects, and builders shaping Northeast Florida's finest interiors - pattern, color, and back-painted special-effect finishes come together to create beautiful one-of-a-kind interiors.

Why the First Coast

Where reflection meets the river.

Jacksonville is two coastlines in one market. Along the St. Johns River, the historic estates of Ortega and the tree-lined character of Avondale and San Marco overlook the water from streets shaded by century-old oaks. To the east, the oceanfront and golf-resort communities of Ponte Vedra Beach- home to THE PLAYERS Championship- Atlantic Beach, and the quiet luxury of Amelia Island draw buyers who expect a level of finish that standard fabricated glass cannot reach. 

Decorative glass belongs in the mix because it does two things at once: it carries pattern and color the way fine wallcovering does, and it holds up the way coastal and riverfront glass has to. Back-painted feature walls in riverfront great rooms, mirrored powder rooms that borrow the water view, kitchen and bar splashes that catch the morning light off the Atlantic, patterned partitions that divide an open plan without closing it off , these are the requests First Coast designers and custom builders are searching for.

ADG will work with Northeast Florida homeowners directly and alongside the designers, architects, and builders already on their projects. Finished products will ship across the First Coast, from the Jacksonville beaches to Amelia Island; design, specification, shop drawings, and art file prep happen in the studio.  Full project management.
