Modernity & clacissism
As an international law firm, Allen & Overy needs a headquarters that reflects its position and status as one of the world’s leading firms, expressing this through materials and the omnipresence of technology. This project should enable Allen & Overy to be a strong element of differentiation and image (in relation to the competition), to have an environment conducive to better synergy and circulation of information between employees, and to contribute to instilling a “new” development dynamic. To support its concept, which had to reconcile the injection of a strong creative dimension, taking into account the personality of each “partner” while respecting a collective decision-making process, archimage called on the talent of Alexandre Vauthier to propose harmonies and contrasts of noble materials, leather, wood and steel, and proposed work in total harmony with the building’s codes. Technology, too, is showcased in the reception area, with its integrated LED screens, and in the meeting rooms on the 8thfloor .
