Winstead

Houston, Texas

With a 12-year renewal of their downtown Houston office lease, Winstead took on the opportunity to refresh their identity and consolidate from 4 floors to 2.5 with 75 attorney offices.

In early focus groups, attorneys and staff expressed their desire for an open and energetic office space that reflected the transparent culture of their Houston office. We created a modern and bright space that encourages interaction while promoting their internal culture of collegiality.

Creating Community

To celebrate the bright, new spirit of the space, the design team used textural details to highlight the space. On several walls, 3D geometric patterns were mounted to create directional elements.
