In line with the national firm’s updated space standards across the country, Fox Rothschild LLC tapped architecture, design, and planning firm FCA to lead the strategic consolidation and transformation of the legal practice’s Minneapolis headquarters. Spanning 39,750 square feet across the 36th and 37th floor, the updated office reflects a significant downsizing from the former ten-floor, 100,000-square-foot layout.
根据这家全国性公司在全国范围内更新的空间标准，Fox Rothschild LLC 聘请建筑、设计和规划公司 FCA 来领导该法律实践明尼阿波利斯总部的战略整合和转型。更新后的办公室占地 39,750 平方英尺，横跨 36 层和 37 层，与之前的 10 层、100,000 平方英尺的布局相比，规模大幅缩小。
A key component of the project was the reduction of private workspaces from 1,000 to 500 square feet per attorney, with visiting practitioner offices located centrally within the interior of the rectangular floor plan. This utilization of space creates a more uniform division among team members, meticulously planned to accommodate the firm's digital shift and reduction in filing systems.
该项目的一个关键组成部分是将每位律师的私人工作空间从 1,000 平方英尺减少到 500 平方英尺，访问执业医师办公室位于矩形平面图内部的中央。这种对空间的利用在团队成员之间创造了更统一的划分，经过精心规划以适应公司的数字化转型和归档系统的减少。
The workplace design further prioritizes a high-quality physical experience for teams, treating back-of-house areas with the same level of care as client-facing spaces. Adjacent to the elevator lobby, a grand café to the north functions as a primary gathering space, catalyzing social interaction among staff, while a smaller lounge to the south accommodates informal meetings and breaks.
工作场所设计进一步优先考虑团队的高质量物理体验，将后台区域与面向客户的空间同等重视。毗邻电梯大厅的北面是一间大咖啡厅，是主要的聚会空间，促进员工之间的社交互动，而南面较小的休息室则可用于非正式会议和休息。
The revitalized core also features open collaboration spaces and team zones that bring natural light into the interior, fostering a sense of openness and connectivity. To minimize disruptions, the reception and conference areas are strategically located to separate visitors from key work areas. The largest conference room boasts a prime view overlooking Target Field, Home of the Minnesota Twins, and serves as a highlight of the office.
焕然一新的核心区还设有开放式协作空间和团队区域，将自然光带入室内，营造开放性和连通性的感觉。为了最大限度地减少干扰，接待区和会议区的位置经过精心设计，将访客与关键工作区域分开。最大的会议室拥有俯瞰明尼苏达双城队主场目标球场的绝佳视野，也是办公室的一大亮点。
Aesthetically, the space takes visual cues from the beloved parks and lakes of Minnesota. Featuring a modern yet industrial style, the thoughtful use of dark and light colors, softened with neutral tones, work with wood textures and patterns to create a sense of movement and vitality within the space. Challenged by low overhead heights and existing ducting, FCA implemented an open ceiling overlaid with warm wood and flowing felt ceiling baffles, reminiscent of the Northern Lights, to provide a visually stunning contrast between the industrial and modern architectural elements of the project.
从美学上讲，该空间从明尼苏达州深受喜爱的公园和湖泊中汲取视觉线索。以现代而工业风格为特色，深思熟虑地使用深色和浅色，用中性色调软化，与木材纹理和图案相结合，在空间内营造出动感和活力。面对低架空高度和现有管道的挑战，FCA 采用了开放式天花板，上面覆盖着温暖的木材和流动的毛毡天花板挡板，让人想起北极光，在项目的工业和现代建筑元素之间形成视觉上令人惊叹的对比。
Completed in May 2024, Fox Rothschild’s Minneapolis headquarters exemplifies a successful blend of progressive law office design, practical functionality, and a deep connection to the local environment. FCA's cohesive and inspiring workspace design underscores Fox's commitment to providing a supportive and engaging environment for all its staff.
