GLAXO WELLCOME FORECOURT Research Triangle Park, North Carolina As winners of a design competition to replace a reflecting pool originally designed in the early 1970’s by master architect Paul Rudolf, our firm approached the new design with similar simplicity. The new forecourt to the Elion Hitchings Building improves wayfinding for visitors and creates a more interactive entry sequence. Bridge-like walkways divide the space into a series of faceted lawn panels edged by low concrete walls that diminish in height in dialogue with the tilted planes of grass. A linear promenade and bosque of trees incorporates seating and overlooks the court.
