About Payette
Payette is a leading architectural design firm specializing in the programming, planning, and design of complex buildings for medical and scientific research, academic teaching, healthcare, and corporate research. Founded in the 1930s, Payette's practice is based upon a problem solving approach that strives for innovation by understanding the subtle nuances of a client's site, program needs, and technological aspirations. Our firm has a very optimistic view of the architect's power to make a positive impact upon their communities and strives to push beyond the design of environments that merely work, to shape places that are inviting, and foster dialogue and interaction. Our buildings are often praised by grateful occupants who teach, do research, and treat patients in spaces filled with light and open views, spaces both for quiet thinking and for collaborative exchange.
