Legal strategy
Article Abstract:
The design for the Howrey and Simon legal offices combined contemporary and traditional design elements to convey the owners' approach to their craft. Lehman Smith Wiseman and Assoc began the project by choosing a building whose facade would complement the owners' concept. The office included one floor below grade which housed computers, administrative functions and other service areas but this area reflects the same quality of design employed in the upper floors. The interiors complement the architectural design and the use of light antique furniture resulted in a subtly elegant office space.
