Payette is a collective of 190 designers who are passionate about technologically complex buildings that are among the architectural profession’s most programmatically intricate and energy intensive. Over the past decade, our work has increasingly focused on fusing building performance—in the areas of energy efficiency, occupant experience and programmatic innovation—with exceptionally well-executed architectural design. What has emerged from this FUSION OF DESIGN + PERFORMANCE is an architecture of consistently high quality and sophistication, as evidenced by a significant surge in national recognition in both areas. It has also led to the development of a uniquely collaborative, participatory and entrepreneurial firm culture.
