Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP, one of the world’s most respected law firms, engaged Scott + Reid to remodel its three-floor Houston office at CenterPoint Energy Tower. The design reflects the firm’s stature—modern, bright, and polished, balancing elevated aesthetics with thoughtful functionality.
The space features a dramatic glass-and-steel staircase, custom Italian-made demountable partitions, and telescoping glass walls that allow executive conference rooms to open completely for firmwide gatherings. Painted glass, fabric-wrapped acoustic panels, and salvaged wood wall details add depth and texture throughout. Across the floors, attorney offices, boardrooms, and client areas are supported by high-end amenities: private wellness and mother’s rooms, a multi-room fitness center, and sophisticated break areas complete with custom millwork, moss tile green walls, and a carved-glass map of downtown Houston.
Scott + Reid collaborated closely with the client and design team to deliver a tailored legal workspace that blends discretion, hospitality, and performance—meeting the expectations of a global firm that knows what it takes to build excellence.
