McDERMOTT, WILL & EMERY
American law firm
Law firm
An American law firm wanted to express its collective energy and the strength of its momentum through its interior design project. The project expresses - through both image and organization of spaces - openness, dynamism and a spirit of collaboration. All workspaces are grouped along a circulation axis punctuated by support points: library, archives, printing areas, lunchroom, etc. By deploying a lively grid on the floor, this axis, over 70 m long, is an assertive architectural gesture. A signature of the firm, the grid culminates in the reception screen. A welcome that breaks with the traditional image of a law firm.
