companies often require global solutions, but they also need local delivery. Today, about 600 HOK professionals – more than one-third of our staff – reside in offices outside the U.S. We shape our international offices into local practices, staffed and led by professionals who speak the native language and who share the culture and customs. Adding to our strength, we also seek the best local design firms for strategic alliances or partnerships. The combination of local expertise and broad geographic reach is backed by our experience with best practices in corporate design. Our expansion has made it possible for us to build a portfolio of successful engagements with a wealth of multi-regional and multinational corporations. In fact, HOK’s processes for managing the portfolio-level requirements oflarge corporations across multiple geographies has become a key differentiator for our firm and an important value-add for our clients.

WHAT WE ARE

HEARING

Excerpts from the Yale student responses to HOK’s Law Student Survey

“Most lawyers should be allowed to telecommute from home most days of the week. It is environmentally wasteful to continue to require them to commute 5 days a week on overcrowded roads. Law firms need to think outside the box on how to use the internet to lower the need for gasoline.”

“Sustainability is very important to me, and I expect law firms to have a plan to conserve energy and lower their carbon footprint – if only because it tells me that this is a law firm that is conservative and not wasteful with their money.”

“Natural light, a window, independent office spaces with an open door policy . . . these are all necessities. In fact, it would be best if everyone kept their doors either completely or halfway open. Closed doors give off a vibe of isolation and reclusiveness.”

h o k .c o m

At Gunderson Dettmer in Menlo Park, CA, HOK clustered the Attorney offices in glass front offices around shared collaboration areas.

Why Bother Coming to the Office When You Can Work Anywhere? Planning today’s law offices for interaction Recently I worked on a comprehensive workplace strategy for a large law firm. The study included detailed surveys, time utilization and space analyses, and workshops organized by employee type and practice group. The goal was to optimize this firm’s work environment by identifying the relevant (and irrelevant) components and determining the ideal mix. Attracting the best and brightest was a major concern of the firm, so the partners were very interested in the associates’ opinions on the workplace. One of the key findings was the strong link between interaction and the associates’ job satisfaction and performance. The associates who felt they were doing their best work also believed they had sufficient opportunities to interact with their peers and partners. By contrast, the least-satisfied associates reported few opportunities to engage with their colleagues. h o k .c o m

During one workshop, an associate noted how valuable it was to communicate with a busy partner when he went for coffee in the morning. Through the course of a typical day, the associate might try to drop into the partner’s office, only to find him on the phone or in a meeting. The associate would hover at the door waiting for the partner to become free. Sometimes, he would return to his desk on the other side of the floor and try again later to meet with the partner. The only sure way to get the partner’s feedback was to make an appointment through his secretary. And if the associate could get the partner’s attention in his office, the discussions often were formal. In the pantry area, on the other hand, he felt more comfortable running an idea by the partner in a casual manner. He made it clear that the casual interaction was much more valuable than the formal interaction. During the workplace analysis study, one of the senior partners on the real estate committee mentioned something compelling: Law firms no longer compete on processes. Instead, they compete on the knowledge and strategies of the individuals within the firm. Most law firms have a strong knowledge management system populated with many templates and work product examples. This partner pointed out that an associate could easily find a template and implement it on a case. Yet he noted that the template did not indicate whether the brief was successful, whether other variations of that brief existed, or what the attorney who used it would do differently the next

workplace may offer the most potential. The interconnecting stairway, for example, is one of the best ways to stimulate interaction because it brings people together from more than one floor. These stairways can take up valuable real estate on multiple floors while adding a ubstantial expense to a project. Yet the value they contribute in influencing people to socialize in non-threatening, informal ways seems to offer a substantial return on investment. Though creating coffee areas is an undeniably effective way to encourage this type of social interaction, these spaces don’t necessarily need seating. They simply need to be ample enough to allow people to step to the side and engage in conversations. Planning concepts and materials can contribute to the creation of lively neighborhood-like environments by providing vital visual connections. Long, narrow corridors with opaque walls, for example, don’t contribute to a collaborative workplace. While attorneys still need long periods of heads-down concentration time and high levels of privacy, they do each other a disservice when they hole up in an enclosed office. Lately we’re seeing an increase in the amount of glass on attorney office fronts, even if it is screened for visual privacy and carefully detailed for acoustic privacy. Even adding a modest amount of glass to office fronts draws natural light into the interior while linking the office occupant to others in the workplace. Using this glass also can add points required to help a space achieve LEED certification.

This is the type of insight that can only be gained through face to face discussions. The partner expressed frustration that associates stayed in their offices with the doors closed, communicating only through email and not interacting by choice. It further emphasized the business imperative of fostering informal interaction. What’s the best way to incorporate true interaction — the type that often generates the best ideas — into the law firm workplace? I have seen many attorney’s lounges sitting empty. Many of these spaces appear to have been modeled after lounges in corporate or high-tech client spaces, and resemble more of a party space than a serious gathering area. In the fast-paced legal environment, the stigma of being seen ‘not working’ in a high-visibility space doomed them to failure. When planning any type of office space, I inevitably think about Malcolm Gladwell’s “Designs for Working” story for the New Yorker’s December 11, 2000, issue (http://www.gladwell.com/2000/2000_12_11_a_working.htm). Applying ideas about planning urban spaces for serendipity and creativity expressed by Jane Jacobs in her 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities to workplace design, Gladwell articulates a belief that designing an office with the best qualities of Greenwich Village would create the most innovation. “To thrive,” writes Gladwell, “an office space must have a diversity of uses—it must have the workplace equivalent of houses and apartments and shops and industry. … Offices need the sort of social milieu that Jane Jacobs found on the sidewalks of the West Village.”

The way we arrange these offices can create even more opportunities for making visual connections. Law firms may not be ready to disturb the status quo of arranging rows of private offices along the windows, but designers should study alternative arrangements such as clustered offices which improve visual connections while maintaining privacy. This is quite achievable in real estate markets where costs or other factors drive some offices into the interior. Of course attorneys will never want to feel like they are working on what Gladwell calls “the noisy bustling ballet of Hudson Street.” Even so, designers of law offices can create environments that increase the type of interaction that compels attorneys and staff members to talk to each other as comfortably as they would on a Greenwich Village street corner.

This approach leads to a hypothesis that the best way for a space to foster casual social interaction is ‘by accident.’ Chance meetings by people moving through a h o k .c o m
