Banner & Witcoff
Washington DC

IIDA Bronze Award Winner - 2007

Banner & Witcoff, Ltd. is a law firm specializing in intellectual property law. They relocated to 31,651 RSF of brand new space on the 12th floor and partial 11th floor in 1100 13th St. NW.
While utilizing the space to its best advantage, the overall floor plan maximizes daylight to the interiors through extensive glass walled conference rooms, clerestory windows and glass lights in all office doors. Corridors around the perimeter of the building open the space to showcase the “skyscraper” views of the city while allowing natural light to enter. Preformed curved and patterned plastic panels hang below the ceiling to add interest to these corridors. The corridors lead to the workstations, made of maple with an inset of acrylic 3-form panels. The plan features a reception area adorned with Italian ceramic tile floors, stone mosaic accent walls, a reception desk made of lacquered panels, backlit stained glass and a solid slab of onyx for the transaction ledge. A hand woven wool/silk rug, custom designed drum light fixtures, and a vintage marble cocktail table complete the design. There are multiple conference suites with custom eucalyptus millwork and more than 60 equity partner and attorney offices with administrative workstations distributed throughout both floors. Thoroughly integrated AV and teleconferencing technologies are incorporated in all of the conference rooms.
