REQUIREMENTS
A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THEIR PRACTICE
Glaholt Bowles LLP has evolved, and their new office needed to match their high standards.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
The firm wanted an elevated journey for clients. Every touch point needed to convey trust, sophistication, and comfort.
A PLACE TO SUPPORT TALENT
They needed an environment that would make a strong first impression, and support long-term engagement.
SOLUTION
We reimagined a full transformation. Everything supports the specific requirements of legal work.
The new office is elevated yet approachable.
Bold lines, high-end finishes, and subtle design elements bring warmth without compromising sophistication.
A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THEIR PRACTICE
LIGHT AND CLARITY
Natural light was a top priority. We designed a layout that maximizes natural light by keeping the window lines open and unobstructed.
The interior offices are built with glazed fronts, allowing daylight to flow deeper into the space while maintaining privacy and functionality.
The aesthetic balances modern elements with classic sensibility, including custom fluted vinyl film on glass partitions to allow light to flow through while maintaining privacy.
CUSTOM DETAILS
A SPACE THAT REFLECTS THEIR PRACTICE
Legal work requires privacy, organization, and discretion. Throughout the design process, we uncovered unique personal and professional needs that shaped the final layout.
We integrated custom wardrobe cabinets in each office for suits and robes worn during court duties. These subtle but important details support daily workflows.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
A COHESIVE JOURNEY
Reception, boardroom, and bistro were treated as interconnected touch points. Each room features high-end finishes and tailored millwork to create a curated experience.
Subtle textures, bold architectural lines, and warm tones strike the perfect balance between professionalism and comfort.
A PLACE TO SUPPORT TALENT
A WELCOMING WORKPLACE
From day one, we set out to craft a bespoke environment for every lawyer.
Each office reflects its occupant’s unique requirements, featuring a tailored collection of furnishings, including custom coat cabinets, bookshelves, and credenzas.
