The DLA Piper Office project in Bangkok, Thailand, exemplifies modern, professional workspace design for a leading global law firm. Spanning 1,084 sq.m. and completed in 2024, this project involved comprehensive interior design and FF&E, reflecting DLA Piper’s global brand while honouring local Thai culture. The brief required a contemporary office for 60-80 workstations and a welcoming lounge. The design emphasises high-quality materials, ergonomic furniture, and modern aesthetics, balancing functionality and style. The concept centred on being Bold, Collaborative, and Timeless, using strong design elements and materials to exude confidence and sophistication. Collaborative spaces and Thai cultural elements enhance the user experience. Distinctive features include a curved arch and bold green marble reception counter, reflecting sophistication and a modern touch. The multifunctional space at the front, with a reception and waiting lounge, can convert into various functional areas, enhancing practicality and user experience. Materials such as rustic metal dark brown laminate, green marble, patterned wallpaper, and gradient glass add elegance and integrate local culture. The layout ensures a seamless flow from reception to workspaces, enhancing guest comfort and navigation. The green marble reception counter and gradient glass island create a memorable first impression and a dynamic environment. The project showcases creativity with multifunctional spaces and distinctive design elements. The curved arch, marble counter, and gradient glass island create a striking environment, while the semi-open minibar transforms into various functional spaces, reflecting a forward-thinking approach. Guest practicality is ensured through a seamless layout, flexible spaces, comfortable seating, clear signage, and high-quality materials. The design integrates advanced technology for optimal functionality. Sustainability is prioritised by maximising natural daylight and energy efficiency, creating a pleasant and productive environment. This thoughtful design not only meets current needs but also anticipates future requirements, ensuring long-term functionality and appeal.
