Paul Hastings reimagines 38,000-square-foot Houston office with Gensler

Paul Hastings, a global law firm, faced the challenge of adapting its Houston office to modern hybrid work models and evolving workplace expectations. The firm needed a high-performance workplace that would serve as a destination for culture, collaboration, and client engagement to compete for top talent. They partnered with design firm Gensler to reimagine their 38,000-square-foot space.

Gensler's solution was to create an activity-based legal workplace with a sophisticated "jewel box" design concept. The design incorporated collaborative zones, lounge settings, technology-enabled meeting rooms, and a monumental stair to encourage interaction. The impact was a refined and flexible environment that strengthens employee connection and well-being while supporting the demands of a modern legal practice. Gensler delivered a workplace that ensures long-term adaptability and reinforces the firm's identity and culture.
