Halim Museum of Time & Glass | Evanston, Illinois
Designed by Adam Wilmot

The Halim Museum of Time & Glass is a 25,000-square-foot, LEED Silver museum in Evanston, Illinois, purpose-built to house a rare private collection of late 19th century ecclesiastical stained glass and antique timepieces. The building is new construction sited within Evanston's landmarked historic neighborhood. The museum was designed by architect Adam Wilmot, while at Wallin Gomez. The project received the 2017 Design Evanston Award for Best New Construction.

The lobby is conceived as a unifying space where the museum's two divergent collections, glass and time, converge. Dramatic large-scale stained glass panels anchor the walls while a custom mosaic floor depicts clock gears and mechanical components in vibrant glass and stone. The pattern forms a dense graphic border that dissolves toward the central reception desk, drawing visitors inward. A sweeping glass staircase serves as both circulation and viewing platform, animating the full height of the space.
