IRVINE, CA—Real estate law firm Cox Castle & Nicholson recently debuted its newly designed Orange County offices at Park Place here via an open house that showcased the Gensler-designed space. The open house was a “lively celebration” of the offices and the artwork that brings the new space to life. See GlobeSt.com's exclusive photos from the event below.

The event featured live music and art ranging from photography from the firm's own Camellia Kuo to the “fusion art” of Orange County's JoJo Bros, who were also present and considered the life of the party in matching outfits. Attorneys from all three of the firm's California offices, as well as clients from across the state, attended as well.

Gensler was the architect for the new space, and SOURCE Creative Office Interiors provided furniture and millwork services. Among the highlights is the kitchen, which features high-top tables for meetings and entertaining and a wall of motivational quotes including John Wooden's “Be quick, but don't hurry” and Henry Ford's “Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right …”

To add to the office's sense of place and in keeping with the homage to the local community, photography by Laguna Beach's Tom Lamb adorns the walls, and the firm has named its conference rooms after local beach cities including the Laguna Room and the Newport Room.

David Wensley, a partner with CCN, tells GlobeSt.com, “The new office is innovative, fun and exciting. It enables us to reinforce our high standard of client service through improved technology and the creation of communal space. The amenity-rich environment at Park Place is ideal for our attorneys, personnel and clients, with convenient and diverse retail, dining and fitness offerings available within walking distance from our offices.”

Wensley adds that his firm is “excited that the new space provides so many functional improvements for our team. The demands of our profession necessitate that we spend most days in our offices, so it was very important to us that we address personnel and client needs by providing an environment where we can collaborate in a functional work environment to do our best work for our clients in an efficient and healthy way. We are proud of the creative design we have implemented, not only because it is so welcoming for our personnel and clients, but also because it will enhance the way that we work together and approach the asks of the day.”
