Crowell & Moring

New York, New York

Inspired by the energy of New York and the unique shape of the building, this workplace invites Crowell’s employees and guests to return with purpose. The workplace environment is layered with texture, grounded in natural materials, and softened by biophilic elements.

Implementing this law firm’s priorities for equity and access to views, communal spaces are positioned to maximize daylight and take in sweeping skyline scenes. Workstations, lounges, and conference rooms frame the perimeter and corners, while the café sits prominently with an open view of lower Manhattan.
