Allen & Overy

Leading international law firm Allen & Overy tasked Gensler with creating a modern and timeless office at its historic Hong Kong office location. To achieve the client’s goals, the design team used glass walls to improve the connectivity, transparency, and natural lighting throughout the workplace. Other featured amenities including wellness spaces and a pantry positioned in the entrance to stimulate employees’ interaction among colleagues, create a balance by boosting employees’ performance as well as their wellbeing. Through a space that fosters a sense of community and sharing of knowledge, Gensler and Allen & Overy challenged the traditional preconceptions about law firm design, creating an environment that contributes to the forward-thinking approach of this international firm.
