Redefining Workplace Innovation: Smart & Biggar’s Ottawa Office Transformation ~ In a bold step toward modern workplace solutions, Smart & Biggar ~ one of Canada's foremost law firms ~ has reimagined its Ottawa office space. This transformation reflects our dedication to creating environments that blend elegance with high functionality, aligning with the evolving demands of leading organizations.
Faced with rapid growth through mergers and the adoption of hybrid work models, Smart & Biggar reduced their office footprint by nearly 50%. This strategic move offers a more adaptable and efficient space. Our design seamlessly supports this transition, ensuring that the updated office layout promotes both operational efficiency and innovative workstyles.
The project exemplifies our expertise in balancing sleek design with practical needs. The revamped office not only improves day-to-day workflows and client interactions but also positions Smart & Biggar as a leader in embracing the future of legal workplaces ~ harmonizing modern aesthetics with optimized performance.

Distinguishing features:  Striking Reception Area: Featuring frameless glass walls, modern furnishings, and a sophisticated color scheme, the reception area makes a lasting impression. A custom bookcase showcasing antique law books adds a nod to the firm’s heritage. Advanced Meeting Spaces: Designed for seamless collaboration, the meeting rooms integrate state-of-the-art technology, ergonomic furniture, custom acoustic ceiling features, and adaptable lighting for both in-person and virtual meetings.
Hybrid Workspace: The integration of private offices and collaborative zones caters to both focused work and team collaboration, supporting the firm's hybrid work model.
Elevated Client Experience: Every client-facing space has been refined to exude professionalism and sophistication, reinforcing the firm’s high standards.
