Horn Design Completes Space For Chicago Law Firm
Online, June 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - CHICAGO, IL (June 2010) - Horn Design, a leading interior architectural design firm, is pleased to announce the completion of Clark Hill PLC's (attorneys at law) brand new offices. Clark Hill PLC now calls 37,000 square feet on the 26th and 27th floors at 150 N. Michigan Avenue home.
Clark Hill needed a larger space that would not only accommodate their growing firm but make a statement about their culture and identity as well. They found the perfect location overlooking Millennium Park, with stunning views of both the park and Lake Michigan, and turned to Horn Design's 26 years of experience in commercial interior design to make it shine.
"We're very impressed by and extremely pleased with Horn Design's responsiveness and end result," said Jim Drake, Member in Charge of Clark Hill's Chicago office. "We wanted an office that would reflect our culture of client service, and would accommodate our current needs and future growth. Since our strategic plan includes more than doubling our headcount over the next several years, Horn Design worked with us to ensure that every detail was addressed and fulfilled for both the present and the future. The result is a state of the art office space that provides us and our clients with access to modern amenities, a seamless flow, and room to grow."
Clark Hill had several objectives in constructing their new home. Maximizing the bright, open feel throughout their space for visitors and clients to enjoy was paramount. They also wanted a high end reception and conferencing center to showcase the spectacular views upon entering their space, while keeping their budget in mind.
To meet Clark Hill's objectives, Horn's project team designed a single tenant suite on the 26th and 27th floors by opening an interior staircase and allowing uninhibited workflow between the two floors. Meeting rooms were consolidated into one central location, resulting in a new conferencing suite that uses curvilinear glass to take advantage of the fabulous Lake Michigan and Millennium Park views. Construction costs were minimized by utilizing existing conditions throughout the space.
A sense of light and opennenss was also obtained by raising the ceiling height on both floors. The secretarial stations were redesigned to create more productive and appealing workspaces. "This is a high class space," says Henry Horn, Principal of Horn Design, "and now an outstanding company has an amazing new space that firmly represents who they are and what they stand for." Horn Design worked closely with Pepper Construction and project manager Mickey Archambault of ACRE Project Management to bring the project in on time and on budget.
