Our Latest Husch Blackwell Space Brings Modern Design to a Historic Waterfront
Husch Blackwell Boston
11,000 SF | Downtown Boston, MA
Husch Blackwell’s new Boston office at One Congress Street embraces the city’s maritime heritage while championing a fresh, modern aesthetic. Blending soft curves, natural materials, and strategic views of Boston Harbor, the space reflects a refined balance of elegance and functionality that embodies both the firm’s identity and the region’s unique character.
The design draws its inspiration directly from Boston’s historic waterfront. Organic shapes and fluid transitions evoke a sense of movement that recalls the ebb and flow of ocean tides, and thoughtfully chosen materials connect the office to its surroundings. This sense of place is carried further by branding elements and finishes that seamlessly weave Husch Blackwell’s identity into the interior, creating a sophisticated environment that feels grounded and authentic.
Every aspect of the office is built around flexibility and purpose. Open-plan work areas embrace abundant natural light and panoramic views, supporting both individual focus and collaborative teamwork. Tech-enabled client spaces and collaborative zones reflect the evolving needs of a modern legal practice, where workstyles range from solo deep work to seamless virtual and in-person interactions. Throughout the space, communal “third spaces”—casual lounges, informal meeting areas, and coffee bars—encourage social connection and spontaneous conversations. Positioned just off the elevator lobby, these welcoming hubs energize the daily experience and echo a successful strategy implemented across Husch Blackwell’s offices.
Materials and finishes were chosen for both quality and meaning. Refined millwork, warm wood tones, and textured wall coverings imbue the office with an inviting feel. The design team partnered closely with the general contractor and engineering consultants to maintain impeccable technical execution while preserving the character and elegance of the design vision.
The result is an office that not only supports the firm’s day-to-day work but also celebrates its story. The Boston launch is part of a broader strategy that connects all of Husch Blackwell’s offices under a unified brand, tailored thoughtfully to each location. Employee feedback underscores that this design enhances collaboration, elevates the client experience, and strengthens firm identity.
