MERCK & CO., INC, WHITEHOUSE STATION, NJ 1992

The Merck project had several components. The entry atrium incorporated a rendering of the company logo behind the reception desk with flanking walls of glass to screen the parking garage. Additionally two separate dining areas, the green and mauve rooms were integrated into the cafeteria.

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.
