Project Type
A Forward-Thinking Transformation to Meet Growing Needs
Situated on eight contiguous floors at Key Tower, Benesch’s Cleveland office is contemporary, bright, and reflective of their forward-thinking, people-first culture..
The entrance is open and inviting, resembling the aesthetics of a high-end hospitality space. The design incorporates various elements including a billboard-sized media wall and an 18-seat bar, with a full-time barista, and a table-studded dining room offering expansive downtown views. The bar serves the morning coffee to employees and guests while transforming into a social spot for staff gatherings after hours.
The design addresses the post-pandemic work culture through the implementation of touchdown cafes on each floor supporting their flexible “work where you work best” culture. A connecting stair fosters mobility between practice floors.
Warm woods dominate the interior, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is deliberate, aligning with a more comfortable and accessible hospitality aesthetic. The triangular shape of Benesch’s logo and navy color is interpreted throughout the space appearing everywhere from Navy fabrics on furniture to a triangular pattern set into a wood panel wall to the pattern of the carpeting.

Vocon has been a partner of ours for 30 years. They are our go-to firm. The reason this project got done in such a tight timeline is because we worked as a team. In construction, things aren’t always going to go the way you expect them to, but we had the right partners in place and that’s what helped us bring it in on time.
