Entry Description

Gowlings’ relocation enabled the firm to develop a new
workplace reflecting the modernizations occurring within the
legal profession.

Practice Floors are based upon a universal office size
utilizing modular walls and furniture systems, including
shared lounges for lawyers and support staff. Meeting
rooms are consolidated onto a Client Floor incorporating
moveable wall systems and sliding glass panels to transform
the space and accommodate a variety of group sizes and
functions.

The elevator lobby opens directly onto the Client Floor
reception area, providing an immediate sense of openness
and impressive views through a custom millwork screen – a
sculptural feature offering dramatic visual effect and the
impression of fluidity. Reflective white panels on the ceiling
within the reception seating area reflect the window wall
and provide a sense of significantly higher ceilings. The
clean, modern aesthetic developed provides the firm with an
updated progressive image while keeping efficiency and
flexibility in mind.
