In 1958, Miller Thomson’s Kitchener/Waterloo office established its roots in the local community. Fast forward to 2023, the firm’s commitment to honoring its heritage while embracing modernity led to the completion of a new office that seamlessly blends tradition with contemporary design.
The design ethos extends beyond aesthetics and functionality, embracing a culture of hospitality and inclusivity evident from the moment one steps into the spacious office, where abundant natural light floods the space. Warm woods and natural textured materials contribute to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere, and support productivity and well-being.
The layout reflects an understanding of the needs of a hybrid workforce, with all meeting rooms equipped with audio-visual technology to facilitate seamless communication between in-person and remote participants. Flexible workspaces, characterized by universal office and workstation footprints, provide the agility for practice groups to adapt in the ever-evolving legal environment.
The design fosters a culture of mentorship and collaboration, with glass front offices allowing for visibility and transparency, while wide corridors encourage spontaneous employee interactions. Multipurpose spaces, such as the boardroom that can be divided into two rooms or opened for afterhours client events, further enhance the versatility of the space.
Miller Thomson’s new Kitchener/Waterloo office is a testament to the firm’s commitment to its heritage, its community, and its people. By blending local influences with contemporary design principles, the office not only reflects the firm’s values but also sets the stage for continued growth, innovation, and success.
