Client: Wood Herron & Evans LLP
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio
- A 22,000sf office intentionally designed for functionality.
- A transitional style that features updated finishes and furniture.
- Community spaces including an upfront reception area, a kitchen area and a patio for entertain guests and hosting happy hours.
- Legacy pieces, such as furniture built by the original owner, are incorporated throughout to celebrate the firm's long history.
Interesting Fact: In its previous location, the firm had a small footprint and was spread across multiple floors. Incorporating community spaces in the new office was a priority for Wood Herron & Evans to encourage firm-wide gathering and establish a more unified culture.
