Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
San Francisco
Completion: January 2005

Architect: STUDIOS Architecture, San Francisco
Acoustics: Shen Milsom & Wilke, San Francisco

International law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP’s new San Francisco quarters features a variety of acoustically challenging spaces, including a visitor’s lobby with full-height glass, open conference and special purpose rooms, and open-plan work environments.

Shen Milsom & Wilke carefully integrated airtight, sound-isolating construction and sound-absorbing wall and ceiling treatments with the aesthetic concepts of STUDIOS Architecture.

In addition, a sound-masking system was installed in areas that required acoustical privacy. The sound level and frequency balance of each masking loudspeaker can be independently controlled from a remote laptop computer.

The result is a workplace that offers privacy, quiet, and good looks; STUDIOS and Orrick were recipients of a 2005 Design Excellence Award from the San Francisco Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
