Venable LLP
A vibrant, verdant workplace where every floor serves as a crossroads of collaboration.
HLW worked with Venable LLP to create a new, unified headquarters to accommodate their growth after a merger. With the challenge of combining offices at 1270 and 1290 Avenue of Americas, we were tasked with designing a space that not only brings the two firms together but promotes connectivity and integration. Central to the design is a five-floor interconnecting stair, surrounded by pantries, huddle spaces, a conference center, and a genius bar, encouraging spontaneous socialization across floors.

“We had the notion of building a special pace that had a homey, warmer feel. Whereas other architecture firms told us the way they do it, they [HLW] wanted to hear how we envisioned doing it. It felt collective right away.”
