Mintz

Mintz selected Elkus Manfredi Architects to create the new design for its flagship office at One Financial Center in Boston, which has been the firm’s home since 1984. While this workplace project was conceived prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, its design was grounded in health and wellness, so it lends itself well to new health-focused workspace parameters as people begin to return to the office. 

Mintz’s leadership asked for a design that would:
Help employees feel supported and cared for – the well-being of the firm’s workforce was a top priority.

-Have the built-in flexibility to evolve as the firm’s business needs respond to changing priorities.
-Feel fresh, light-filled, personal, and eclectic, while also being highly efficient.
-Be aesthetically understated and unpretentious, while using timeless, top-quality materials.
-Create a serene home base for their attorneys and support staff to offset the stress of their high-powered law practice.
-Demonstrate the superior client service that Mintz is known for in every part of the new workspace.

To transform the office space, Elkus Manfredi drew upon its signature cross-industry design approach, combining techniques from such diverse project types as hospitality, residential, and high-tech design with the firm’s extensive experience in designing for large law practices. Beautiful and high-functioning, the sophisticated new offices provide increased operational efficiency for Mintz’s law practice and a serene, grounding design that feels like home for the firm’s employees.
