A Parisian law firm in a hybrid working model with unassigned offices might come as a surprise, but CHAMBERS architects have achieved it with this renovation of the existing premises of the international law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. The project is a wholesale upgrade of the client experience and enables future proofing for expansion on a reduced footprint. The architectural design takes its cue from the hotel sector to put client reception front and centre of the project’s objectives. The workspaces are designed to enable increased opportunities for collaboration with an innovative workcafé that encourages collaboration between legal staff and clients. CHAMBERS lead surveys and workshops to construct the project with partners and staff including vision sessions to align the design image with the firm’s values.
