Entry Description

The concept for Stephenson Harwood breaks those stereotypes by examining how to foster corporate productivity, boost staff morale, and promote more meaningful client/staff interaction. Approximately 30% of the full floor layout is devoted to front of house elements such as meeting rooms & cafe. Yet the lines between areas for clients, management and staff are blurred through dynamic areas such as a curving green wall, pool table and dartboard immediately off the lifts. A café with bar and an assortment of soft seating at various heights allow for impromptu meetings in a relaxed and friendly space. A gym equipped with yoga mats, stationary bike and treadmill encourages staff’s health and well being during long work hours. To support an egalitarian and transparent corporate philosophy, the private offices to ensure confidentiality for each barrister and solicitor are treated with sliding glass doors and a reduced footprint.
