McCarthy Tetrault

McCarthy Tetrault are a Top Tier Canadian Law Firm with offices Nationally.

The Vancouver workplace for McCarthy Tetrault builds on the firms National Strategy moving all lawyers from multiple sized offices to a single sized office over three floors within 745 Thurlow Street, Vancouver.

The design aims to create ‘harbours’ of settings through small clusters of pavilions, workstations and informal meeting and breakout spaces.

The workplace consists of 3 levels with shared facilities such as client meeting, and breakout spaces, strategically located across the three levels, creating communities and cross pollination between practice groups. The design allowed for the reduction of the tenancy by 1 floor, from 4 originally leased to 3 floors.

An internal stair connects the floors, with further access to a rooftop terrace, increasing movement, transparency and collaboration between practice groups.
