Commercial fit-out
Proskauer Rose, London
A new benchmark in legal workspaces
Proskauer Rose LLP, London
Set within the iconic 204-metre-high 8 Bishopsgate tower, the new London headquarters for Proskauer Rose LLP marked a significant milestone in the firm’s UK and European growth. Spanning four floors, the space accommodates 150 of the UK’s leading legal minds and features a dedicated client suite with world-class amenities, including a 200-seat auditorium, rooftop terrace, in-house restaurant, and multiple cafés.
Delivering a truly bespoke interior of this calibre was a rewarding experience for the entire team at Howard Brothers. The project’s success was further underscored by achieving both a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification and an EPC ‘A’ rating, recognition of the project’s commitment to sustainability and excellence.

Summary
This project introduced some intricate design challenges, most notably the integration of veneered portals across multiple locations, engineered to precisely align sightlines toward London’s architectural landmarks beyond.
The reception desk, whilst minimalist in appearance, carried equally complex requirements. Designed to cantilever to one side, it also incorporated a fully concealed rise-and-fall mechanism, demanding absolute precision in structural design and mechanical integration.
With materials ranging from stunning bookmatched Onyx in the meeting rooms, to tile and clay finishes on the Hub feature walls, the project required precise coordination and technical expertise to achieve a result that remains striking yet functional.
