Redchip Lawyers are a medium sized law firm seeking to exude a modest and sophisticated environment for clients and staff that encompassed their values. Their desire to demonstrate integrity and openness is embedded within their new home. From the moment you step inside the front door the client area is open and has views to Newstead beyond and the newly refurbished historical Gasometer. The combination of smoky glass, polished concrete, concrete, plywood and leather provides comfort and texture in the detailing and a most warm welcome.
Having come from an uninspiring fitout which became less relevant over time, it was very important that this opportunity was fully thought through so that this can be enjoyed throughout their ten year term and possibly beyond. It was important that our design was not limiting hence the offices were to be transparent, and away from the glazing to allow everyone to enjoy the light and views. This also abolished hierarchy and allows change and growth to be far more fluid. Additionally there are relaxed break out spaces for staff to encourage collaboration outside of offices, and the offices are deliberately small so to encourage people to move and use more public areas.
