glassy bones: 01/17/15

The JUPITER ISLAND HOUSE, FLORIDA was the first DWD project with KRJD&A, completed in 1985. It evolved from the desire of the owners to have some kind of stained glass entry in their new house after visiting Viscaya in Miami.

Glassy Bones

"Rattling down proud Becket's glassy bones". Blue Dick, an iconoclast during the English Civil War, standing high on a ladder with a pike in his hand, smashed to pieces St Thomas Becket's glassy image.

With the same spirit of fixed opinion this blog presents a series of architectural stained glass projects developed by David Wilson Design in collaboration with Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Associates, architects. The first project, for a home in Florida, was the result of a recommendation from Edward Larrabee Barnes, architect, so the one project with Barnes is included. From the first project with KRJD&A in 1985 a range of commissions followed through 2000. They are all published here.
