Trilegal Office
Saket, New Delhi | 2016
Spread across 22,000 sq.ft., the Trilegal office in New Delhi was conceived as a departure from the conventional visual language typically associated with law firms. Rather than relying on overt formality and corporate rigidity, the design sought to create a workplace that reflected the firm’s progressive outlook, intellectual culture and evolving contemporary identity.
The planning of the office was driven by openness, spatial clarity and understated sophistication. Public and collaborative areas were designed with generous proportions, warm materiality and visual transparency, allowing the workplace to feel approachable while still retaining the dignity expected of a leading legal practice.
A restrained palette of wood flooring, muted walls and soft lighting establishes a calm and balanced environment throughout the office. Vertical partitions and linear ceiling elements subtly organise movement and work zones without creating a sense of enclosure, helping maintain visual continuity across the floor plate.
The office is interspersed with artwork from the personal collection of one of the firm’s senior partners, lending the workplace a distinctly human and cultural layer. Rather than functioning as decoration, the art became an integral part of the spatial experience – introducing colour, pause and personality within the otherwise measured corporate environment.
Meeting rooms, collaborative spaces and workstations were designed to balance efficiency with comfort, consciously avoiding the cold and overly formal atmosphere often associated with legal offices. The result is a workspace that feels contemporary, composed and people-centric while remaining aligned with the professional ethos of the firm.
The project reflects an attempt to reinterpret the identity of a modern law office – one that values openness, dialogue, culture and quiet confidence over traditional corporate symbolism.
