The ArchDaily article, PAYETTE Lights Up Lynn with Pro Bono Display, talks about how the colorful LED lighting display activates Lynn’s urban center and touches on future plans for a smartphone app that will allow users to choose lighting scenes.
This dramatic project, developed by the Beyond Walls community of enterprising artists, residents and business owners who endeavor to transform and invigorate downtown Lynn, continues to shine. The installation establishes a sense of place and provides spectacular visual delight, as well as safety, throughout the formerly vacant, dark underpasses that traverse Lynn’s business district. Beyond Walls was one of five finalists for the Ruby Bruner Award for Urban Excellence. This pro bono project characterizes the role of architecture as contributor toward the public good.
We are honored to share PAYETTE has received two 2026 Green Good Design Awards from The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies—Land’s Sake Farm and The Ragon Institute of Mass General, MIT, and Harvard.
“Green GOOD DESIGN identifies and emphasizes the world’s most important examples of sustainable design and works to develop a public awareness program that informs the general public about which global companies are doing the best job in ecological and sustainable design for our world. Architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning projects, as well as product, packaging, and graphic design projects from over 30 nations were honored with the 2026 Green GOOD DESIGN Award.”
