HOK is a global provider of planning, design and delivery solutions for the built environment. Since the firm’s founding in 1955, HOK has developed into one of the world’s largest, most diverse and respected design practices. The firm employs more than 1,595 professionals linked across a global network of 23 offices on three continents.

P H I L O S O P H Y A N D A P P R OAC H HOK people are committed to creating environments that make a profoundly positive impact on people’s lives. Each HOK project is approached individually, without preconceptions, and designed to serve the unique needs and aspirations of the specific client and its surrounding community. The firm’s flexible work processes and advanced technology equip us to effectively deliver projects of any size, scale or location. Our diverse talent and highly collaborative culture enables us to assemble teams with specialized expertise from throughout the HOK office network.

H O k I N t e R I O R S g R O u PEach interiors project presents a unique set of circumstances: context, existing conditions, program, client and the pressures of budget and schedule. The best design solutions are created in direct response to all of these factors and achieve an uncompromising balance among varied interests. We are problem solvers, designing environments to help our clients achieve their objectives. At the same time, we recognize that our designs must go beyond pure function - they must enrich people’s lives in a positive and meaningful way.

HOK believes that there are no set architectural solutions, no right style or signature, rather that the best design solutions are unique to each project and enhance the best features of the original structure. We believe design calls for an organizing concept – a principle that guides and inspires the synthesis of a total solution.

We feel very strongly that good design does not occur in a vacuum. The best projects are a collaboration among the architect, the consultants and the client/user; and the most sucessful projects result from working as a team, focusing on the goals of the team, and bringing together design/technical expertise and client knowledge. We believe that the best design is achieved when each participant feels personally and professionally responsible for the project’s success.

HOk A ROu ND tHe WORLDIncreasingly, our corporate, law firm and other professional services clients are expanding around the world. These 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 multi-national 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.

C O M M I t M e N t t O S u S tA I N A b I L I t YBy developing solutions to enhance aesthetic goals while limiting resource consumption, improving building performance and promoting occupant health and productivity, HOK is leading the way to an increasingly sustainable future.

u N M At C H e D e x P e R t I S eIn the early ‘90s, HOK chose to build sustainable design into all practice areas, service offerings and regional offices rather than creating a separate specialty group. Our commitment emanates from every level of the organization — from Chairman Bill Valentine, to Integrated Design Director Gerry Faubert, to a network of “Sustainable Managers” in each regional office and practice area.

More than 750 HOK employees have become Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design® (LEED)-accredited through the US Green Building Council (USGBC).

Long before the creation of the LEED green building rating system, HOK developed sustainability checklists by phase and topic.

These resources served as the foundation for The HOK Guidebook for Sustainable Design, widely recognized as one of the design profession’s seminal textbooks.

tA N g I b L e R e S u Lt SHOK has convincingly demonstrated that “green” projects can be delivered without compromising budget constraints, aesthetic goals or building performance. Our built projects include office buildings, hospitals, laboratories, corporate campuses, airports, museums, schools and master-planned communities throughout the world. HOK currently has 148 LEED-certified projects, 10 BREEAM-certified projects, 4 Green Mark-certified projects and 1 Green Globes project.

I N D u S t R Y R eC O g N I t I O NHOK’s expertise and leadership have been acknowledged through awards and recognition from leading industry organizations, including:

• For the second consecutive year, HOK ranked #1 on Engineering news-Record’s “Top 100 Green Design Firms.”

hok .com

• HOK ranked #3 in the inaugural “Architect 100” list published by Architect magazine, based on sustainability, design excellence and profitability.

• HOK’s 15-year commitment and contributions to the green building movement were honored by the US Green Building Council with the “Organizational Excellence” award at the 2006 USGBC Leadership Awards program.

• HOK earned the prestigious 2006 Sustainable Design Leadership Award, presented by Corenet Global, International Interior Design Association, and American Institute of Architects Committees on the Environment and Interior Architecture. The firm was previously honored with a “Special Commendation” by this international awards program in 2003.

• The HOK Guidebook for Sustainable Design was named 2005 Best Sustainable Practice Winner in the category of Educational Initiatives by the Sustainable Buildings Industry Council (SBIC).

• For six consecutive years, HOK designs were selected for the “Top 10 Green Projects list” by the American Institute of Architects Committee on the Environment.

• HOK is the only design firm to earn the “Designing a Sustainable and Secure World” award from Global Green USA, the US affiliate of Mikhail Gorbachev’s worldwide environmental organization Green Cross International.

A C u Lt u R e O f L e A R N I N gFor many years, the interior design industry has relied heavily on benchmarking to establish law firm design. While benchmarks can be useful for the comparison of certain metrics, the reality is that each firm is a unique business and deserves a strategy developed around its practice, culture and operations rather than a formulaic solution based on what other law firms have done. Benchmarks (such as RSF per attorney) are firm-specific, static data that becomes stale almost as soon as it is calculated. This data is equivalent to sound bites that don’t communicate the effectiveness of the work environment in supporting another firm’s practice. That is, space-related metrics generally report how a space was designed, not how it actually performs. From firm to firm, the same assumptions cannot necessarily be made; the same conditions and factors don’t necessarily exist. In short, the utility of benchmarking is overstated and reliance on it should be limited.

When so many firms have been designed to resemble each other, the spaces often are outdated from the day of move in. For example, most attorney offices are designed

the same way they were 20 years ago, even though technology has evolved significantly since then. Examples of ineffective law firm space are abundant – guest chairs used for piles of paper or boxes, empty shelves above the desk intended for library books, monitors that don’t fit well on the desk, and desks that are not ergonomically designed for computer use.

So, what planning and design approach is most effective in yielding a law office that will remain relevant for a new lease term, adapting to new technology, future generations of lawyers, and competitive legal practice? HOK looks at broader trends and their impact on the workplace, understanding the business driver behind each trend and its potential application to new clients. Benchmarking information from our own work, published other projects, or the Legal Industry Council of IFMA Benchmarking report (which HOK sponsored exclusively) will provide contextual and comparative data. When folded into the strategic programming process, the result is a workplace made for the business, not copied from another, potentially irrelevant example.

“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.”

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.”

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 identi-fying 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.

During one workshop, an associate noted how valuable it was to com-municate 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 popu-lated with many templates and work product examples. This partner pointed out that an associate could easily find a template and imple-ment 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

At McGuire Woods in Century City, CA, HOK designed breakout space at the top and bottom of the interconnecting stair that serves the conference center as well as informal discussions.

time. This is the type of insight that can only be gained through face to face discus-sions. 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 gather-ing 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.”

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

workplace may offer the most potential. The intercon-necting 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-threat-ening, 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 col-laborative workplace. While attorneys still need long peri-ods 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.

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 maintain-ing 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.
