With a presence in more than 40 locations worldwide, this renowned law firm required a workplace design that matched its global reputation.

As the firm continued to expand in recent years, their Houston office relocated to a prominent Class-AA office space in downtown Houston, a space that reflects the elite firm's worldwide reputation for innovation and professionalism.

PDR was called on to bring a balance to key themes that the firm prioritized for the project: professionalism along with hospitality, and collaboration along with privacy. One aspect is often chosen over the other, but our team was able to harmoniously incorporate each one into the final design. As a space intended for employees and clients from all over the world, our design decisions were driven by the need for flexibility.

With a strong brand already in place, this client wanted to preserve their global identity, while giving a nod to the local influence of the city. A bright, airy atmosphere is enhanced by plenty of natural light and unobstructed views of downtown Houston.

The space imparts an impressive and sleek yet welcoming feel, with clean lines accented by saturated shades of blue that guide the eye to areas of visual interest.

We worked with a palette of earthy textures, including natural wood and stone elements, to convey a sense of stability. Lighter floors and ceilings accented with darker grays provide a subtle contrast. Lush greenery adds liveliness to neutral tones, creating an inviting atmosphere that is vibrant and warm.

The numerous, multipurpose areas further highlight the adaptability of the workspace. As an arguably strong incentive to return to the office, employees can select from a variety of spaces to accomplish tasks.

Reception and lobby spaces are open and relaxed, with large conference rooms that can be used for a wide range of client engagements.

An employee breakroom serves as a central place to gather, promoting a collaborative environment that also functions as additional space for public events. These "hubs" yield to smaller offices that allow privacy and focus.

Our team's design brings modern efficiency with a welcoming feel to a bustling office, reflecting the firm’s global brand and high standards.
