BakerHostetler has transformed the traditional law firm model into a welcoming and collaborative workplace that honors its history and reflects its vibrant culture.

Guided by a strong emphasis on spatial and social connectivity, the office fosters seamless interaction through open layouts, curated communal spaces, and a dramatic central staircase that unites the workplace across levels. The result is a forward-thinking legal environment where professional excellence meets inclusive design.

PROJECT GOALS

BakerHostetler envisioned its Orlando office as a space for everyone—intentionally designed to enhance performance while bridging spatial function with a strong regional identity.

The result is a dynamic, inclusive environment that reflects the firm’s deep expertise and fosters a culture of collaboration, all within a visually striking setting.

 

 

DESIGNING FOR EVERYONE

Accessibility and equity embedded in every detail

From hand-wave sensors to shared views and standardized office sizes, the space prioritizes universal access and dignity, creating an environment where all users feel considered, comfortable, and connected.

 

PLANNED FOR PERFORMANCE

Supporting flexibility, focus, and collaboration

A strategic mix of offices, collaboration zones, and shared amenities supports diverse work styles—empowering individuals, enhancing team dynamics, and fostering a high-performing environment

 

 

 

A SCULPTURAL CENTERPIECE

Bridging space, purpose, and regional identity

The custom stair—crafted from recycled, rippled glass inspired by Florida’s waterways—serves as a visual and functional anchor. It introduces transparency at the heart of the workplace, seamlessly connecting levels while embodying the project’s commitment to movement, sustainability, and meaningful design.

 

“I wanted to tell you what a great job your team did on our office renovation—everyone loves it. It feels and functions so much better than before and really helps to connect us all throughout the day.”
