A Space for a New Generation
Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie (LRRC), a firm with over 120 years of heritage in Denver, sought to reimagine its office space to reflect its evolving culture and connect with a new generation of attorneys. Designed by Anderson Mason Dale Architects, the firm’s new office, located on the top floors of McGregor Square in Denver’s LoDo (Lower Downtown) district, symbolizes the firm’s intent to merge tradition with modernity. The office serves as a vibrant and welcoming environment, fostering collaboration and a forward-thinking work style.
Design Concept: A Blend of History and Modernity
The design of the LRRC office pays homage to the historic character of the LoDo district, reinventing these elements with a contemporary touch. The office design captures the firm’s deep roots in Denver while embracing modern innovation. References to LoDo’s historic architectural details are woven throughout the space, blending old and new in a way that reflects the firm’s cultural evolution.
Space Features: Natural Light and Connectivity
Key architectural features include abundant natural daylight, a floating staircase, and dramatic view corridors that open up the space. These design elements create a sense of openness and connectivity, aligning with the firm’s goal of fostering a dynamic and hospitality-driven workspace. The layout encourages interaction and movement, while the views of Denver’s cityscape emphasize the firm’s strong ties to its surroundings.
Conclusion: A Symbol of Heritage and Innovation
Anderson Mason Dale Architects successfully transformed LRRC’s office into a bold statement of the firm’s future aspirations. The space blends the firm’s historic ties to Denver with its modern vision, creating a vibrant, welcoming environment where attorneys can thrive. The new office not only reflects LRRC’s heritage but also stands as a symbol of innovation and adaptability for the future.
