Fish & Richardson Office, California

Fish and Richardson is a leading global intellectual property law firm practicing in the areas of patent law, IP strategy and litigation, and commercial litigation with 16 offices worldwide. They recently decided to move their South California office to One Paseo in 2020. One Paseo is a high-end, luxury village with a collection of modern apartments, retail stores, and office space located in San Diego. Fish & Richardson has signed a 10-year lease to occupy offices on the entire top fourth floor and one-half of the third floor (a total of 32,300 sq. ft./ 3000 sq. m.) in one of One Paseo’s new mid-rise, state of the art office buildings. They decided to build a large, flexible conference room near the front of their office.

ID Studios is an advocate for Skyfold, having used their walls in 4 other projects to date. Their design team appreciates the flexibility and function that Skyfold delivers. They were particularly enthused when Skyfold introduced the Zenith Premium with its horizontal ceiling closure panel. They though that the Zenith Premium would be perfect for this application and specified it to divide the conference room.

In this space, the Zenith Premium wall intersects with a operable horizontal glass wall system that surrounds the conference room. Skyfold played a huge role in delivering privacy for their client meetings with their superior sound rating. Being a law firm in a luxury hot spot, acoustics and aesthetics were Fish & Richardson’s top priority in designing their new office space. They were looking for a modern showcase design that combined acoustics, convenience, and speed.
