  • In a strategic move to redefine their Hanoi workspace, international law firm Baker McKenzie partnered with design-build firm Huynchi to deliver a transformative office environment that blends innovation, sustainability, and functionality. Completed in September 2024, the project reflects the firm’s forward-thinking approach to work and commitment to excellence.

    At the heart of the design brief was the goal to enhance the user experience—for both clients and employees—while embracing a new hybrid work model. Huynchi responded with a workspace that is both flexible and inspiring. The office layout was reimagined to accommodate various work styles, offering a mix of collaborative zones, quiet focus areas, and high-performance meeting spaces. Every element is crafted to support the dynamic needs of a modern legal team.

    A standout feature of the project is the front-of-house area, which functions as a 5-star meeting hub. Designed to impress and welcome, this space incorporates curated artwork, natural greenery, and high-end finishes, paired with integrated smart technology to deliver a seamless client experience. It sets the tone for the rest of the office—professional, warm, and refined.

    Sustainability was a central pillar of the project. Huynchi integrated energy-efficient systems and selected eco-friendly materials to minimize the environmental footprint of the workspace. Air quality, natural light, and acoustics were carefully considered to foster wellness and productivity throughout the office.

    Advanced technology plays a vital role in supporting Baker McKenzie’s hybrid work culture. From video-enabled collaboration tools to automated environmental controls, the office is built to empower agility and connection—whether teams are working on-site or remotely.

    The new Hanoi office is more than just a physical space; it is a reflection of Baker McKenzie’s evolving identity. Through thoughtful design and strategic planning, Huynchi has delivered an environment that not only meets the highest standards of performance but also nurtures the well-being and growth of the people who work there.
