The steady growth of this successful law firm prompted the partners to rethink their physical workspace in light of new operational demands. To this end, they organized a private architectural competition, which was awarded to our team.
The project seeks to interpret the firm’s core values of efficiency and timeless sophistication, expressed through the refined use of noble materials such as marble, glass, and ebony, delicately assembled in their joints to enhance a sense of elegance and restraint.
The layout emphasizes generous, open spaces, bathed in abundant natural light through translucent office partitions. The artificial lighting design dramatizes linear perspectives and accentuates key focal points within the space.
The existing structural columns—originally bulky and visually intrusive—were clad in mirrored glass, both to lighten their visual impact and to integrate vertical ducts, storage areas, and built-in kitchenette elements.
