PepsiCo, Front Hall, Building 4 RP/1/14/22/5

An ink and pencil design on tracing paper dated 5 July 1982 marked, ‘Rough sketch, Possible arrangement for Front Hall, Building 4, scale 1/2" = 1 foot'. This is a more formal drawing of the reception area in office building number 4 (see RP/1/14/22/12/2), showing both a plan and an elevation of the back wall. Suggestions for indoor planting areas, including a moveable jardinière, are indicated.

This large-scale project at the world headquarters of PepsiCo Inc. was Page’s last major undertaking. From 1980 until his death in 1985, he made frequent visits to the site in Westchester County, 25 miles north of New York City, working largely on designs to harmonise the company’s substantial collection of outdoor sculptures with the landscaped parkland.
