Gordon Legal’s slogan is simple but to the point – “It’s Personal”. The team at KHID used this as a starting point. As director Katrina Hooker says, “we created a reception and meeting facility that is welcoming and calm, yet professional and representative of a legal practice.”

One of the challenges in the project was the lack of natural light given its position within an existing fit-out. “As there was no access to natural light we created a space that provided interest and detail through the installation of the materials,” explains Katrina on the design process.

Lightness and a warm accessibility are expressed through the design in the material palette and colourways. Crisp white walls paired with light timber parquet wall details and greenery bring in a fresh and friendly vibe.

Part of the project’s success comes through the careful selection of furniture. The real highlight piece is undoubtedly BOB from Blå Station.

“We used Blå Station’s ‘BOB’ sofa system from P4 as it provided an interesting seating arrangement within the reception. Something a little unexpected but also due to its high-quality style it has the level of sophistication expected in a law firm” shares Katrina.

Also featured in the project is Blå Station’s Gaia acoustic wall panels, which work as both a functional and decorative element in the meeting room.
