Introduction

Miller Nash, a nationally recognized law firm with nearly 150 years of history, engaged Hyphn to create a holistic workplace solution for their Seattle and Portland office relocations. The firm sought an approach that aligned with its culture, hybrid work policy, and the specialized needs of legal professionals—balancing privacy, collaboration, and long-term flexibility.

Objectives & Scope

  • Conduct visioning to define goals, values, and cultural alignment
  • Perform space utilization and forecasting studies
  • Support hybrid work while maintaining confidential, private offices
  • Provide a comprehensive workplace solution across multiple offices
  • Integrate furniture, technology, owner’s representation, and digital component construction

Approach

Hyphn began with a robust visioning exercise to clarify organizational priorities and workplace expectations. By pairing this discovery work with detailed utilization and forecasting studies, Hyphn developed a strategy that optimized space use and long-term cost savings. The team then designed solutions tailored to law firm workflows, combining privacy requirements with open, dynamic environments that support collaboration, events, and staff engagement. In Portland, Hyphn incorporated Falkbuilt digital component construction to enhance flexibility, acoustic privacy, and sustainability.

Outcomes & Impact

Hyphn delivered a multi-office workplace that reflects Miller Nash’s values, supports hybrid work, and enhances both privacy and collaboration. The solution improved space efficiency, introduced new functional and social environments, and incorporated sustainable construction methods—all contributing to a future-ready, adaptable workplace.

Key Takeaways

  • Law firm environments require specialized solutions balancing confidentiality and collaboration
