The establishment of PandA Foundation was inspired by Chinese-American architect I.M. Pei. The foundation is reproducing in his honour the spirit of his New York residence in Shanghai’s historical and cultural district to create a platform for business leaders, industry experts, non-profit organizations, and innovators to foster innovation and collaboration for global benefit.

In 1974, I.M. Pei purchased a four-story residence on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Since the house was designed for Pei’s own use, it gives great insight into his personal style and modernist aesthetic.
Pei and his wife Eileen occupied the house from 1972 onwards. It was an important place for family and friends to socialize and communicate. It was here that the architect lived until his death in May 2019, aged 102.
I.M. Pei’s spatial language has inspired the interior and its selection of materials and furnishings.
