ROY SHECTER VOCHT LAW OFFICE
BIRMINGHAM, MICHIGAN
2010
The new offices for the 30 year old specialty law firm, embrace a modern team workplace paradigm. The design of the 2,500 SF work environment was fostered by the vision and leadership of the Partners to provide a collaborative atmosphere that is unordinary, forthright, and essentialist. Abundant glass allows visibility, connectivity, and natural daylight to permeate the spaces. The goal of creating an ease of movement and workflow has been realized in the spaces, which are transparent, open, and private when needed. The use of simple white walls, clear glass and limited color promotes a feeling of calm and earnest sensibility. Acoustic privacy is achievable in flexible conference areas, collaboration spaces, and office pods which may be closed off by sliding glass panels. The entry area, public spaces, and private workrooms are linked with loop circulation around, and cross circulation through the offices. This interconnectivity provides the kind of interaction the office team needs to manage the human accessibility and document intensity of the office. Digital screens and technology are integrated in every space to allow intercommunication with those inside and outside the office. The spaces feature large electronic wall monitors which, when not in use for work related content, stream colorful artistic images of the Partners photographs.
