K&L Gates

2023 - The Medelan, Via San Protaso Milan

K&L Gates, an internationally renowned American law firm, chose GLA for the design of its new Milan office, located on the second floor of the newly restored The Medelan, the former headquarters of Unicredit bank then repurposed as a mixed-use building.

The K&L Gates offices take up the portion of the building that spans between Via Tommaso Grossi and Via San Protaso, enjoy a privileged view over Via Santa Margherita, and include large outdoor spaces such as terraces and interior courtyards.

In line with the Client’s requirements, the fit-out includes a traditional distinction between the business spaces open to the public, which house the reception area and meeting rooms, and the private spaces designated for the staff, organized according to a regular module with a single or double closed office configuration along the outer perimeter of the building. Special attention was paid to the design of common spaces, where the “forum” acts as the space for meeting and socializing, located in the center of the office space, just like an agora: a meeting point surrounded by common functions. The space features a large skylight, all around which are the bar, library, internal meeting rooms and working spaces. The environments are characterized by a contemporary style enriched with natural finishes and iconic design furniture.
