Our annual Payette Thanksgiving Potluck event, brings us together as colleagues and friends, giving us an opportunity to reflect on the many things we are grateful for. This year has been an exciting year at Payette. We have been honored with multiple national design awards for some fantastic projects. Another group of Virginia Tech students joined us for the fall semester, bringing inquisitiveness and new energy to the office. We have wonderful clients who we get to work with every day, bringing their projects to life.
But perhaps what we are most thankful for this year is the legacy of Tom Payette, who remains integral to our firm culture and the practice of architecture. Tom, who recently passed away, was a friend and mentor to many of us in the firm. We will be forever grateful for the impact he had not only on us as individuals, but also the firm and the greater architectural community. He will be missed, but his spirit will continue to live on.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Located along Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the Klarman Building responds to the presence of this green space to create a state-of-the-art center for inpatient care and healing. In addition to extending aspects of nature into the building through orienting views and finishes, the Sky Garden allows patients, family and staff to find healing in the landscape.
Happy World Landscape Month!
