Women in Design at PAYETTE celebrates International Women’s Day today by recognizing women making contributions to architecture and design.
To the women who have gone before us, to the women who will come after, to the women who push boundaries, lead, innovate, dream and hope…today we celebrate YOU!
Recently, PAYETTE was selected as 1 of 5 finalists for A Bauhaus Bathroom at the Gropius House, from 280+ submissions across 40+ countries.
Our proposal places a new public restroom beside the historic garage, treating it not as an object, but as part of the arrival sequence to the site. A straight wall organizes movement from the visitor center; a curved, translucent volume gathers entry, waiting, and turning before releasing visitors toward the house.
Inside, dark durable surfaces meet a luminous upper zone, drawing from Gropius’s own use of contrast, color, and diffuse light.
