ASSOCCIATES LIASON Meghan Simecek Kirksey Architecture 713.426.7506 meghans@kirksey.com

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT: JCS (CHAPTER PARTNER OF THE YEAR) “Seyfarth Shaw, LLP (a global law firm based out of Chicago) relocated their Houston offices to the 14th and 15th floors of Pennzoil Place. JCS, Rottet Studio, Seyfarth Shaw and Teknion partnered to create the new beautiful and innovative space.

Rottet Studio took a unique approach to planning the offices and collaboration spaces, dedicating the 15th floor to the attorney offices, reception, and primary conference spaces with the 14th floor used for reception and conference overflow.

STUDENT CONFERENCE LIASON Jennifer Trenta CRG 832.594.6830 trentaj@crgoffice.com

One of the unique features of some of the attorney offices is that even though they are interior offices, they receive natural light from the outer windows. This is due to a unique staggered layout of the interior and exterior offices.

Rottet Studio custom designed height adjustable Teknion private office furniture (working with Teknion to modify Teknion’s “Dossier” wood series) for the attorneys, and the open plan areas were designed using Teknion systems furniture. Suite-matched maple veneers add to the light scale feel and also brighten the space.

Rottet Studio incorporated eclectic pieces from Arper, Bernhardt, Allermuir, Nucraft, Vitra and Davis to create a fun and funky “Attorney Office of the Future.” Light neutral paints, mixed patterned carpets from J&J Carpet, FSC certified Nydree Flooring and contrasting Tamo Ash Veneers completed the look for a multifaceted appeal that is unique and inviting.

STUDENT CONFERENCE LIASON Monica Ward acs Flooring Group, Inc. 832.752.0284 mward@acsflooring.com

We enjoyed working with Rottet Studio, Cushman and Wakefield and Turner Construction, as well as with Seyfarth’ s own talented team of internal move experts.

Our efforts were duly rewarded when Rottet Studio was awarded a 2014 AIA Houston Design award in July of 2014. Congratulations to Rottet Studio (and thanks for allowing JCS and Teknion to be a part of this very successful project)!”
