Milbank, New York

For the new HQ of the international law firm Milbank, in the ultra-modern “55 Hudson Yards” skyscraper in Manhattan, UniFor provided both standard and bespoke products designed by LSM, the architectural firm behind the interior of the new offices for over 700 professionals including partners, associates and staff. The aim of the project was to create a working environment that enhanced staff well-being, collaboration, and a sense of connection and commitment to the city of New York itself. The new HQ of Milbank was a great example of effective synergy between the architecture firm and all the suppliers involved. This collaboration transformed 10 floors of the building, 27,000 sq m in total, creating a world-class experience for lawyers, staff, and clients. Extensive use of materials such as mirrors and steel reflect the breathtaking views of Manhattan and the Hudson River, maximizing natural light in each of the offices. The personalization of the space was key for Milbank, both in relation to the building itself, where LSM implemented several unique design features, and the 391 individual offices. The private offices of all partners and associates are all customized according to the individual lawyer’s needs. They are all equipped with height-adjustable desks, wall-mounted cupboards, and have ample work surface space. Great attention was also paid to ensure that the acoustics were appropriate. The partitions used between the spaces are part of the RP family and are available in double-glazed and single-glazed versions. Moreover, all the metal works, which cover the walls and columns were provided by UniFor to LSM’s design. Large meeting tables, reception desks and all the cupboards have been reinterpreted by UniFor series furniture to meet LSM’s specific project requirements.
