01 / The project

Project overview.

Ward Hadaway LLP is a full-service commercial law firm and one of the UK’s top 100 law firms, with roots in the North of England.

RU Creative redesigned Ward Hadaway’s Leeds office to create a distinctive reception and a consistent identity throughout the interior. A bespoke Corian reception desk forms the centrepiece of the arrival space, complemented by a feature stone wall and feature ceiling. Flos lighting completes the scheme, while walnut veneer detailing throughout brings warmth and connects the different spaces.

Developed from the client’s initial brief and explored through 3D visualisations, the design considers how bespoke joinery, materials and lighting work together. The combination of Corian, textured stone and walnut gives the interior a professional, welcoming character, with careful attention to the details visitors experience on arrival.
