Our cooperation with Clifford Chance goes back to 2019, when this client started considering whether to relocate to new premises and approached Cushman & Wakefield to conduct an architectural study. The fact that this collaboration began early on enabled us to gain a better understanding of the client’s needs and vision.

The most dramatic change compared to the original layout was the introduction of a large open space for staff to relax in. This zone replaced the former kitchen area and gave employees somewhere to meet up, relax or work in an informal setting.

The redesign of the existing office layout resulted in a spacious, impressive reception area with plenty of natural daylight. The flexibility of the space lends itself well to client events, informal meetings, and quick catch-ups.

Once it had been decided that Clifford Chance would be remaining at its current location in Jungmannova Plaza, our brief was to interconnect the two floors so that the running of the firm and its various departments would be seamlessly linked and so that the two levels would not be closed off from each other. We also took the opportunity to introduce more light into the premises to make the working environment more attractive and inviting for both staff and clients. Consequently, the redesign of the existing office layout resulted in a spacious, impressive reception area with plenty of natural daylight.

The inspiration for the design behind the architectural concept was derived from nature. Following on from the client zone overlooking the Franciscan Garden, the interior features a series of verdant islets illuminated by minimalist barrisol lighting.
