As part of a recent trip to Basel, Switzerland for a project in Skolkovo, Russia — a small team from PAYETTE was able to visit some amazing architecture in the area. Some of these included:
- City of Basel, Switzerland
- Beyeler Foundation – Renzo Piano
- Vitra Furniture – Herzog & deMeuron and a project by Frank Gehry
- Ronchamp – Le Corbusier and Renzo Piano
Photography by Jeff DeGregorio and Sarah Holton.
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.
