The New York Times gives us a peak at the over-the-top law offices of Miami firm Alters, Boldt, Brown, Rash, Culmo. Designed by Briggs Edwards Design, the un-stuffy and uber-Modern space features a silver leafed wall and auto-painted conference table.

Reminds me of the law firm I worked at in Coral Gables (Miami) before moving to upstate NY (Ick!, the new firm can't hold a candle to my previous one). Anyway, the Coral Gables firm had nice art (real art) all over the office, sculptures, etc. The lighting was always soft, low and pleasant, kinda like mood lighting. Flowers were always fresh. For some unexplained reason, I looked forward to going to work there everyday. LOL. Can't say that about the new place. They still have the crappy 70's "office art" and the God-awful BRIGHT flourescent lighting and everything is "office beige." I dread the idea of getting up every weekday morning now. LOL.
It's kinda sad that a modern, designed office is deemed "over the top."
patrick...they spent $45,000 on silver-leafing the lobby.......
Expensive does not mean over the top.
I'm intrigued by those hooked rug kits. Has anyone ever tried one?
i'm with aaron.
they spent over $2 million in a leased space...and they have a ginormous painting of batman in the conference room. i think the term "over the top" may refer moreso to the eccentricities displayed in the decor rather than its modern aesthetic.
