Golba and Associates - Architects' twelfth major project for this national law firm was the expansion and complete renovation of their Houston facility. Growing from one to two-plus floors resulted in complete new reception and conference areas, as well as the insertion of a staircase to connect these floors. Three types of limestone flooring, cherry paneled walls, embossed frieze details, and textured glass were used to create an updated interpretation of the traditional law practice. Secretarial areas were custom-designed to

support technology and allow for easy interchange with the attorneys and staff. Lighting was integrated into furniture and built elements to provide quality indirect lighting and establish a comfortable work/light-level throughout these offices. Design elements established in the main areas were extended into the office areas, providing a quality work area for all personnel. The successful completion of this project led to further expansion and opportunities for Golba and Associates with the law firm in their other locations.
