THE HEADQUARTERS · PURCHASE · 1970
An office building set down in a park of sculptures
PepsiCo's world headquarters is a low building by Edward Durell Stone on a former estate in Westchester County, with landscape by his son, Edward Durell Stone Jr. Around it, the Donald M. Kendall Sculpture Gardens — begun in 1965 and later shaped into an arboretum by the garden designer Russell Page — hold works by Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Arnaldo Pomodoro and David Wynne. The landscape architects EDSA describe courtyards, meadows and woodland as “outdoor living rooms”, with parking hidden beyond the forest so that employees walk through the grounds on the way to their desks.
