Phased Precision Meets Modern Law Office Design

Transforming a dated one-story building into a sleek, modern law office is no small feat, especially when part of the space has to remain occupied during construction. That was the challenge facing Elsy Studios and the project team when Griffiths Law acquired their new Lone Tree headquarters in 2022. The solution required meticulous phasing, creative problem-solving and close coordination between contractors, architects and the firm’s leadership to keep business operations running smoothly while reimagining the space.

Elsy was engaged to lead the interior design, working in collaboration with ASR Companies, VH Engineering and MEP Engineers to ensure the 9,132-square-foot renovation could be executed with minimal disruption to the firm’s daily operations. Phase one involved renovating both sides of the occupied suite while carefully managing noise, dust and logistics for attorneys and clients. Once the tenant vacated, phase two brought the two sides together into one cohesive space, including structural modifications to unify the interiors.

The completed project delivered more than 33 private offices designed to enhance attorney-client confidentiality and productivity, along with new collaborative spaces and break areas that support both professional and social connection. By exposing the building’s steel structure, Elsy was able to raise ceiling heights and create a more open, progressive feel. ALUR glass walls in all private offices allow natural light to permeate the space, while a curated palette of black, white and natural tones elevates the environment with modern sophistication.

Far from the traditional “stuffy” law office aesthetic, the design balances professionalism with warmth, making the office welcoming for clients across generations. The space reflects Griffiths Law’s leadership: forward-thinking, approachable and committed to excellence.

Elsy Studios recently completed the design of 22,291 square feet of spec suite space on the 22nd floor of Granite Tower in Denver, Colorado.
