Sasha joined Payette in mid-2021 as an Architect, bringing a wealth of both practical and applied expertise in science and laboratory design. Trained a biologist, her early experiences included work at both the National Institute of Health and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Pivoting her career to architecture, she built foundational skills with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in New York City and Perkins+Will in Boston. Her project work spans institutional clients such as Wellesley College and Emmanuel College, to more recent roles as the Project Architect for multiple office to lab conversions. Since joining Payette, she seamlessly integrated into the team to complete the laboratory design and documentation of the Ragon Institute and is now also helping to relaunch the office education initiative for Laboratory Planning and Design. Sasha’s quick wit and positive spirit help raise the bar toward excellence in all she does.
A peek behind the curtain of designing the `Geodes` at Penn State West 2:
Our team created a series of custom millwork design huddle spaces populated in the top floor open maker space, which are designed to accommodate small-group meetings, rest and meditation, filming and recording. The materiality of the Geodes echoes the color strategy, homogenous from the outside, with the interior of each Geode in a different pop-up color, made out of painted cork tiles and fabric wrapped panels.
