Project Descript:

The design for Ouellon Wente, an Intellectual Properties Law firm addresses the demands of a high profile company where clients demand quality service with speed and low costs. The objective of this project is to provide reception and meeting spaces that allow for this level of service, as well as to ensure that the daily work practice of lawyers and support staff is accommodated efficiently and effectively.

Key reception features include an elegant custom desk, marble wall and walnut wood slat hallway. Private offices along window walls along with simple and timeless Knoll Ref workstations define the major circulation paths. Utilization of a law library is low today and instead, inset shelving units along the corridor walls of offices act as storage for reference volumes.
