In the 15
years since its inception the Connecticut based Christiaan Dinkeloo
Associates L.L.C. has grown steadily into a multi discipline firm
that offers architecture, interior design, site development and
corporate security design for a widely diverse clientele. These
projects have included office buildings, museums, hotels, country
clubs, retail space, multi family housing and private residences.
Prior to
establishing the architectural firm of Christiaan Dinkeloo
Associates, Christiaan worked side by side with his father,
architect John Dinkeloo, and his partner Kevin Roche. Created from
the office of Eero Saarinen in 1961, the architectural firm Kevin
Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates completed some of Saarinen’s most
prestigious work including the TWA terminal in New York. the Dulles
Airport, and the St. Louis Arch and then went on to establish itself
as one of the most creative forces in architecture’s modern
movement.
Christiaan
Dinkeloo worked with his father for ten years on such notable
projects as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Denver
Center for Performing Arts, the Union Carbide Headquarters, and the
highly acclaimed General Foods Headquarters,. After John Dinkeloo’s
sudden death in 1981, Christiaan continued work with the Roche Dinkeloo
firm until 1990 when he established the architecture and design firm
of Christiaan Dinkeloo Associates, L.L.C.
The
exceptional design driven ethic fostered in years of practice within
the Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo organization has manifested itself in
the designs of Christiaan Dinkeloo Associates. Projects of every
scale and complexity receive the same degree of thought and sense of
energy and purpose in the derivation and development of their
ultimate design concepts.
Christiaan
Dinkeloo Associates, L.L.C. continues to be a growth oriented firm
which strives for a diversity of commissions which add to the
multiformity of the firm and the design work that it produces.
