The renewed office space will serve for meetings with clients, for managerial meetings, lectures, educational workshops and parties on special occasions. Well designed office space is critical to creating a good impression and confidence in the law firm.

Following the specifics of the brief, we have developed a concept, which we named 4 : 1. The concept utilizes three flexible elements inserted in a hollowed out space to form four smaller, more intimate ambiances or one large space that can support larger events, lectures or receptions. The three flexible elements necessary for the transformation are two folding glass walls and one rotatable wall.

In the second configuration the glass walls retract into the thick wall and the rotatable wall rotates to double as a projector screen as well as a divide between the backstage and the hall, creating a proper orthogonal lecture hall.
