Andrea joined Payette in 2011. She provides sustainable design knowledge and energy expertise to our projects by combining her background in architectural practice and building science to bridge the divide between the rigor of building performance and the art of integrating those ideas into a cohesive design. She provides performance simulations to give the project team a better understanding of the impact of design strategies and researches innovative solutions for improved building performance. She works on multiple projects across the firm, serving as a connecting thread amongst project teams and a vehicle to cull the best ideas from across the firm. Andrea teaches a course on building envelope performance every fall semester at MIT and serves on the Steering Committee for the USGBC Massachusetts Chapter.
From milling to installation: a new feature wall for Breaktime.
This branded feature wall is the first installment of our work for the Breaktime Hub, a resource center in downtown Boston where young adults experiencing housing insecurity can access health services, job training, basic necessities, and shelter.
The custom-milled MDF panels echo Breaktime’s logo while doubling as ledges for photos and personal objects. We’re thrilled to continue our work with Breaktime and look forward to the next installment of custom architectural furniture for the Hub.
