Project: Jenner & Block Chicago Office

GP recently completed the 417,000-square-foot headquarters of Jenner & Block, located on the top 14 floors of the new 353 North Clark office tower in downtown Chicago. While meeting several practice imperatives, the design provided an opportunity to, in the words of the client, "create a stage upon which we perform in the service of our clients."

The combination of classic modernist principles with contemporary law firm planning has invented a new platform for the delivery of cutting-edge legal services - a platform that places a premium on intelligent design decisions, enabling long-term strategic positioning and honoring legacy cultural commitments in the service of telling Jenner & Block's unique story.

Project: Ojon

Ojon Corp. is a Burlington based hair care enterprise revolving around ingredients found only in the rainforests of Central America.

The SGH design intention was to create a workspace that incorporated the Ojon company branding in a unique way. Emphasis was placed on juxtaposing technology and nature through the use of contrast, movement and texture. Tactile features such as rich wood, fibrous carpet and living plants were offset by smooth stained concrete, flowing water and sleep translucent glass.

High ceilings and the existing staircase inspired dramatic vertical elements and ensured a cohesive flow between the two floors. Skylights and perimeter windows allowed natured light to permeate the space, contributing to a healthy work place and providing a suitable environment for plants.

The fully transformed space included open office areas, a lunchroom, custom millwork, a fully functioning test salon and marketing centre, private offices and boardroom, a two-storey water feature and interior landscaping.
