The way architects design their own offices is laden with clues about their attitudes toward function and workplace comfort, not to mention how they want to represent themselves to clients. An even more interesting test arises when an architectural firm converts a landmark building for its own use. The historic structure, which has withstood the vagaries of time, now must be updated for a range of creative and administrative activities. As the following pages illustrate, three architectural firms have achieved this while demonstrating their skill in keeping the character of the building intact and the sense of past alive. |
